Sinossi

An introductory text covering the basics of surfactants, which are key materials in processes involving adhesion, coating, mixing, domain formations, and other phenomena in medical, pharmaceutical, chemical and electronic industries. Basic principles, interesting phenomena, and useful applications are discussed in a manner accessible to beginners in the field. Potential future applications such as lyotropic liquid crystals, liposomes and vesibles, bilayer membrances, and LB-films are discussed along with conventional ones. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Recensione

"....The author provides many examples of industrial applications; the treatment of biomembranes is especially interesting. Tsujii inserts thought-provoking ideas at the end of each chapter, under the heading "Refreshing Room!" as a thoughtful and inspiring addendum for readers. An excellent book for upper-division undergraduates or first-year graduate students."
--CHOICE, January 1999

L'autore

Dr. Kaoru Tsujii is one of the pioneers and leaders in science and technology of the surfactants. He has long explored the field covering both theory andindustrial applications. Tsujii received both his Master of Science degree and his Ph.D. from Osaka University. He has been employed by Kao Corporation, a leading manufacturer of consumer products in Japan, since 1970, where he is currently a Research Fellow. His areas of research include ididescent solutions resulting from periodic structure of bilayer membranes, super water- and oil-repellent surfaces utilizing their fractal structure, hybrid polymer gels with bilayer membranes, and interactions of surfacants with polymer gels. Dr. Tsujii has published over 50 papers and has authored 14 books and chapters. He has applied for 76 patents.
