Stable gas-in-liquid emulsions : production in natural waters and artificial media /

This title is a greatly expanded and updated second edition of the original volume published by Elsevier in 1986. New material has been integrated with the original content in an organized and comprehensive manner. Five new chapters have been included, which review over one and a half decades of res...

  • Comparison of aqueous soil extracts with carbohydrate gels
  • Characteristic glycopeptide fraction of natural microbubble surfactant
  • Ecological chemistry of microbubble surfactant
  • Surface properties of microbubble-surfactant monolayers
