Today, formulated preparations are part of everyday life. Formulations based on surfactants are by far the most prolific, from shampoos and shower gels to emulsion paint and polishes. This book discusses the chemical technology of surfactants and related chemicals, using over forty examples of everyday products. Some basic theory on surface chemistry, molecular interactions and surfactant function is included to aid understanding.RSC PaperbacksSurface active agentsElectronic books.Surface active agents.668.1Hargreaves Tony(Anthony Edward)974250Royal Society of Chemistry (Great Britain)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454416603321Chemical formulation2217964UNINA
