Synopsis

Beginning with P.A. Winsor s fundamental hypothesis on a natural interfacial curvature depending on the values of the formulation variables, this unique book shows scientists how to understand the intrinsic structure of these complex systems and their corresponding physical properties... predict how a change in one formulation variable (surfactant structure, oil structure, aqueous phase composition, temperature, etc.) will modify the microemulsion... and systematically formulate microemulsions for individual applications. This book provides a thermodynamic analysis supporting the existence of natural interfacial curvature... compares the behavior of commercial surfactant mixtures and pure isomeric surfactant molecules in order to point out differences and similarities highly significant for various uses... explains how micelles can evolve smoothly and continuously toward solutions containing large quantities of oil and water... gives procedures for fixing quantitative relationships among formulation variables... plus much more. Illustrated with more than 200 diagrams, tables, and photographs, and completely referenced, this superb volume is essential reading for surfactant, colloid, and physical chemists in both academe and industry, as well as chemical engineers, biotechnologists, and petroleum engineers.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Maurice Bourrel is a Research Scientist at Elf-Aquitaine in Artix, France. The author or coauthor of some 30 papers, he has studied surfactants, microemulsions, and enhanced oil recovery for many years. Dr. Bourre! received the doctorate (1974) in physics from the University of Pau in France and the "Doctorat d'Etat" (1988) at the University of Bordeaux in France. Robert S. Schechter holds the Getty Oil Company Centennial Chair in Petroleum Engineering, and is also Professor of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, at the University of Texas at Austin, where he has taught since 1956. He has published more than 185 papers, primarily on colloid and interface science. His research on surfactants has included extensive work on mixed micelles, the relationship between the structure of surfactants and microemulsion phase behavior, thermodynamics of microemulsions, stability of macroemulsions, and interfacial rheology. Among the many honors he has received are membership in the national Academy of Engineering and the Order of Palmes Academiques awarded by the French government in 1978. He his a member of the American Chemical Society, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Society of Petroleum Engineers, and American Institute of Mining Engineers. Professor 5chechter earned the B.5. degree (1950) at Texas A & M University and Ph.D. degree (1956) in chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota.
