Industrial applications of surfactants III - D R Karsa

This publication continues the theme of the two previous publications of this name and presents practical descriptions of various surfactants and their applications. Each volume contains new and additional information to the former, creating a library of invaluable and complementary information on the subject. Industrial Applications of Surfactants III explores several new areas such as oligomeric/polymeric surfactants. It discusses newer species such as the alkyl polyglycosides, alkyl pyrrolidones and betaine esters and assesses more conventional surfactants such as alkyl benzene sulphonates, amine ethoxylates and imidazolines. This introductory level volume places an emphasis on practical applications and will enable development chemists and formulators to identify products to meet their specific needs. It will also provide them with much needed information on recent innovative developments in the field.
