Industrial applications of surfactants II - D. R Karsa

Industrial Applications of Surfactants II contains papers describes a wide range of chemical species not featured in the previous edition. Included are acetylenic glycols and derivatives, alkanolamides, phosphate esters, amine oxides, sulphosuccinates, ether carboxylates, naphthalene derivatives and others. Surfactant technology continues to be an area for innovation, and areas such as biosurfactants, the formation and application of ultra-thin films, polymeric surfactants and the application of cationics as phase transfer catalysts are featured.
