Advances in Surfactants Technologies

This book explores the synthesis, properties, and applications of surfactants, offering both introductory insights and advanced discussions. Topics include micelle formation, corrosion inhibition, biofilm control on medical devices, and environmental remediation such as pollutant removal from wastewater. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers and professionals in chemistry, materials science, and environmental engineering.

List of contents

1. Micelle Formation by Surfactants.- 2. Thermodynamics of the binary mixed micelle formation, mixed micelle without the effect of counterion binding.- 3. Surfactants and inorganic nanotechnology.- 4. Advances in surfactants as inhibitors for corrosion protection.- 5. Application of gemini surfactants as anticorrosive materials.

About the author

Shadia J. Ikhmayies had received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. from the physics department at the University of Jordan in 1983 and 1987, respectively, and the Ph.D. in producing CdS/CdTe thin-film photovoltaic solar cells from the same department and the same university in 2002. She worked as a member of the academic staff in several universities in Jordan. Her research focused on producing and characterizing semiconductor thin films and thin-film CdS/CdTe solar cells. Besides, she works in characterizing different materials by computation.
