Structure and Flow in Surfactant Solutions (Hardcover)

Developed from a symposium sposored by the Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry at the 206th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Chicago, Illnois, August 22-27, 1993, this volume presents a collection of papers on the rheology of surfactant solutions that range from discussions of theoretical models to a review of some of the practical industrial applications of these systems. It discusses a wide range of surfactant structures, including: entangled, worm-like micelles; spontaneous vesicle systems with yield stresses; lamellar, hexagonal and cubic liquid crystalline phases; and polymer-micelle complexes.
