Surfactants are surface active agents, molecules that have a significant role in emulsions, suspensions, and foams. They find widespread application in personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and the food industry. Their classification, physical properties, phas…
Polymer surface modification has been studied extensively, but relatively little attention has been paid to surface activation technologies that, when appropriately utilized, make specific polymer-based surfaces receptive to value-adding interfaces such as inks, coatings, and ad…

fromDevelopments in mineral processing
Surfactants have been used for many industrial processes such as flotation, enhanced oil recovery, soil remediation and cleansing. Flotation technology itself has been used in industry since the end of the 19th century, and even today it is an important method for mineral proces…
"The essentials of solution chemistry of mineral/surfactant systems are systematically presented in this book along with important calculations that quantitatively describe the chemical interactions in question. - We consider the influence of relevant physico-chemical conditions…
