It is now twelve years since Solubilization by Surface-Active Agents appeared. Since the publication of that monograph the subject has expanded rapidly as the unique potential of surfactants has become known to a wider circle of scientists. In a recent review Menger (Accounts of Chemical Research, 12 (1979) 111) estimated that since 1970 there have been over 2800 publications on micelles and micellization alone. The topic of catalysis in micellar media was in an early stage of development in 1968 but the growth in this subject has given rise to an excellent textbook by Fendler and Fendler. We have felt for some time that a revision of Solubilization by Surface-Active Agents was overdue. The book has been out of print for some time. Owing to pressure of other work, Professor P. H. Elworthy and Dr C. B. Macfarlane were unable to undertake the work of revision but while working together on an undergraduate textbook the present authors decided to set to work, realizing both the impossibility of producing a comprehensive textbook and the need to alter the scope of the book. Micellar solubilization occurs over a relatively small surfactant concentration range; because of this and because the phenomenon is never observed in isolation, we have extended the text to include surface activity, emulsions and suspensions and, as our emphasis is on formulation of medicinal products, to the of the toxicology of surface-active agents.

This work describes the solubility, solution properties, thermodynamics, miscibility, solubilization, mesomorphic character and other physical properties of mixed surfactant systems - presenting both theoretical analysis and a wide range of practical applications. Equations clarify complex and abstract constructs.;The book also: treats mixed critical micelle concentrations, surface tension, flotation and absorption in terms of thermodynamic models; explores the miscibility of fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactants in the micelles, covering micelle formation, liquid-liquid solubility and thermodynamics of mixed micellization; determines the mean aggregation number by steady-state quenching methods, and analyzes the composition of mixed micelles; discusses the mechanisms and experimental studies of adsorption from mixed surfactant systems; examines surface activity of surfactant mixtures, mixing phenomena and liquid crystal phase behaviour; and reviews means of investigation that use ion-specific electrodes, light scattering, and NMR and flourescence probing.

Describes recent techniques applied to characterize surfactant systems, such as surfactant-stabilized colloids, micelles, microemulsions, emulsions and foams in both aqueous and nonaqueous fluids. The text probes adsorption and wetting phenomena at interfaces, including solid-liquid, liquid-vapour and liquid-liquid. It provides helpful examples and case studies illustrating how these techniques may be used in complementary ways.
