Advancing cost-effective methods using newly developed surfactants, De Based on papers presented at the World Detergent Conferences in Montre Balancing practical and theoretical concerns while promoting better pe Utilizing the editorFs more than 20 yearsF experience in the field and containing over 600 essential literature references, drawings, photog raphs, and tables, Detergency of Specialty Surfactants makes an ideal reference for physical, surface, colloid, oil, and cosmetic chemists; chemical engineers; materials scientists; and upper-level undergraduat e and graduate students in these disciplines.

This volume seeks to advance cost-effective methods using newly-developed surfactants. It summarizes data from physical, chemical, surface, detergency, cleaning, toxicity and environmental sources for designing new formulations of classic organic head-tail surfactants in response to increased environmental, toxicity, safety and performance demands.
