Surfactants : in solution, at interfaces and in colloidal dispersions /

Surfactants are in everyday products such as detergents, foodstuffs, and cosmetics. Their molecules have one part which is water soluble and another which is not. This gives them two valuable properties: they adsorb at surfaces, and they stick together in water. This book treats the physical chemist...
