This timely and exciting volume pinpoints the preparation methods, physicochemical properties, environmental impact, and applications of newly developed surfactants, many of which are destined for considerably wide use in the near future. Focuses on the synthesis and properties of "green" surfactants incorporating environmental-friendly characteristics! Collecting the research of over 20 international authorities on the subject, Novel Surfactants details the phase equilibria and reaction kinetics of DMG outlines the adsorption, aggregation, and biological properties of gemini surfactants profiles the photocleavage, thermocleavage, and reductive degradation of surfactants highlights the application of isolated enzymes to surfactant synthesis describes the uses of alkyl polyglycosides in personal care products, laundry detergents, and agriculture discusses the nonionic derivatives of sterol compounds and related alicyclics analyzes the use of esterquats in fabric and hair care highlights the flexibility of silicone polymer chains and the chemistry of organo-modified silicones and much more! Supplemented by more than 1100 references, tables, equations, drawings, and photographs, Novel Surfactants will benefit physical, analytical, surface, colloid, organic, polymer, oil, and medicinal chemists and biochemists; chemical and manufacturing engineers working in the paint, pigment, paper, textile, detergent, and cosmetic industries; environmental scientists; toxicologists; microbiologists; industrial and research pharmacists; food scientists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
