Sugar-Based Surfactants

<p>Touted as the new darling of the chemical industry alkyl polyglycosides are gaining in popularity due to the fact that they are readily biodegradable low-toxic and made from renewable resources. <strong>Sugar-Based Surfactants</strong> compiles the most recent and relevant aspects of sugar-based surfactants including self-association phase behavior and interfacial properties. Focusing on both colloidal and interfacial science the book deals with the adsorption of surfactants in both the air-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces. It also covers new advances in surfactant science such as the development of a family of potent surface active agents that are non-toxic and thus usable in ubiquitous consumer products</p>
