Description

xiii, 516 pages : illustrations; 24 cm.

Summary

• This volume reviews the recent developments in the behavior of surfactant-modified, water-soluble polymers in aqueous solutions. The use of water-soluble polymers in biodegradable and biological systems and the development of unique hydrogels and new nonassociative water-soluble polymers is also discussed. This volume will be valuable reading for polymer chemists and engineers interested in personal care products, coatings, and detergents.
• Scientists interested in petroleum recovery and water treatment will also find this book useful.
