Their wide diversity of applications owes to their unique structure, namely, a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic group present in the same molecule. Although most surfactants used industrially are synthetic, there is a growing need for natural surfactants, as the latter is obtainable from renewable sources and are less toxic and highly biodegradable in contrast to their synthetic counterparts. This book is a compilation of interesting articles by various experts that cover various applications of both synthetic and natural surfactants.Surface active agentsDetergentsSurface active agents.Detergents.668.1Kumar Dutta AshimNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910687988203321Surfactants and Detergents1989639UNINA
