Surfactants find applications in almost every chemical industry, such as in detergents, paints, dyestuffs, paper coatings, inks, plastics and fibers, personal care and cosmetics, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, etc. In addition, they play a vital role in the oil industry, e.g. in enhanced and tertiary oil recovery, oil slick dispersion for environmental protection, among others.
This book has been written with the aim of explaining the role of surfactants in these industrial applications. However, in order to enable the chemist to choose the right molecule for a specific application, it is essential to understand the basic phenomena involved in any application.
