Synopsis

This outstanding volume unites topics for the first time that were previously scattered throughout the literature and treats solutions with amphiphilic association structures and phenomena such as HLB temperature, tertiary oil recovery, and solubility of surfactants in hard water. Written by the top international experts in colloid and surface chemistry, Organized Solutions develops a generalized scheme for describing the interrelationships of various idealized solution models...reviews the concepts of HLB number and temperature as well as the latest developments on the HLB system combining both methods...shows that molecular aggregation is possible in an aprotic and polar solvent and compares the results obtained in N-methylsydnone to those in water and formamide...compares the results of semiempirical calculations to experimental results using dielectric and nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy...introduces two kinds of physicochemical techniques for producing fine O/W emulsions and presents the mechanisms of emulsification ...and more. Containing close to 750 literature references and nearly 400 useful figures, equations, and tables, Organized Solutions is essential reading for physical, surface, colloid, and cosmetic chemists; food scientists; pharmacists; and upper-level undergraduate students in food science.
