An introduction to surfactants /
Surfactants are surface active agents, molecules that have a significant role in emulsions, suspensions, and foams. They find widespread application in personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and the food industry. Their classification, physical properties, phase behavior, their eff...
