Mixed Surfactant Systems

Book excerpt: Reflecting the widespread use and study of mixed surfactant systems and the abundance of new and emerging applications in the field, this reference studies the physicochemical properties and behavior of surfactant mixtures with chapters by world-renowned leaders in industry. Offers more than 2/3 new material, as well as the expertise of a new coeditor! Completely revised and expanded throughout, this Second Edition incorporates the latest results, newest experimental perspectives, and theoretical investigations on mixed surfactant systems...provides new sections on topics including monolayers of mixed surfactants, diffusion of mixed micelles, mixed micelles of fluorinated and conventional surfactants, sponge-like vesicles of mixed surfactants, liquid crystals of mixed surfactants, mixtures of surfactants and polymers, and photolysis of mixed surfactants...and analyzes the most recent measurement strategies and techniques.
