Description
Book SynopsisWritten by top researchers in the field, this new edition of a best--selling title is still the only one on this topic on the market. Includes 20% new material and a new chapter on novel surfactants, including cleavable surfactants, now very widely used in fabric conditions as are more easily degradable (more environmentally friendly.
