Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive review of the fundamentals of the phase science of surfactant systems. The phase states in which surfactants may exist constitute an important dimension of their physical science. The problems associated with the handling and use of such systems can often be diagnosed by reference to the phase diagram of the aqueous surfactant system at equilibrium.

He has thirty-five years of basic industrial research on surfactants and their phas science and its utilization towards the development of surfactant-based technologies. Hehas written five previous books in the field.

Review

"The author has successfully accomplished his objective of transferring personal research experience to his readers. This book, which compiles extensive experimental information and the associated knowledge, is particularly usefulfor researchers working with surfactant systems, and it is an essential addition both to their personal libraries and to institutional libraries which service specialized research."
--Juan H. Vera, McGill University, JOURNAL OF AMERICAN CHEMISTRY SOCIETY
"This is a remarkable book. It contains an excellent account of the phase behaviour of surface active agents, in both aqueous binary and ternary systems....This book is well written, and the authors mastery of the subject is clearly evident."
--CHEMISTRY IN BRITAIN
