Book excerpt: Annotation Intended for technologists selecting a surfactant for use in some process or product, this guide provides information on the relationship between the chemical structure of the surfactant and its performance in that application. The authors (Brooklyn College) first describe how the adsorption of surfactants changes the properties of interfaces and related performance properties, and how surfactants change the internal properties of the solution phase. Next they discuss chemical structure and microenvironmental effects on surfactant fundamental properties, and enhancing the performance of surfactants. Example applications are then given in such areas as agrochemicals, pulp and paper, construction, textiles, and plastics. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
