Features: This book discusses the structure, properties, synthesis, and applications of various surfactants, with a special focus on the new developments in surfactant science, introducing some novel surfactants with unique structures and properties. It systematically elaborates on the state and properties of surfactants in solution, as well as the fundamental principles of surfactant adsorption, wetting, penetration and reverse osmosis, emulsification and demulsification, foaming and defoaming, detergency, solubilization, dispersion and aggregation, antifungal, bactericidal, and antistatic effects. In terms of content selection, the book balances the needs of scientific research and practical applications. While providing detailed theoretical foundations, it also reflects the new achievements and advancements in surfactant science, and appropriately explores the application issues of surfactants in industries such as oil extraction, oil refining, mining, materials, and pesticides. This book is suitable for researchers and engineering technicians involved in the theoretical and applied research of surfactants, as well as for postgraduate students and senior undergraduate students in relevant university majors as a foundational textbook and reference material.
