Features
- Emphasizes the contributions of simple ions to surface tension behavior and the practical consequences
- Unifies older and newer theories and measurements
- Provides fundamental knowledge regarding ions in fluid /fluid systems that chemists and scientists in a wide variety of fields can employ to study many different types of systems
- Focuses on the thermodynamic properties of these ions at fluid-fluid interfaces to give scientists a quantitative, rigorous, and objectively experimental methodology they can employ in their own research
Summary
This book is a comprehensive account of the properties of air/aqueous electrolyte surfaces with emphasis on the contributions of simple ions to surface tension behavior, and the practical consequences. By focusing on the thermodynamic properties of these ions at fluid-fluid interfaces surface and interface scientists will have a quantitative, rigorous, and objectively experimental methodology they can employ in their research. Ionic liquid interfaces are important in surfactant systems, cleansers, emulsions, bubbles, and foams. Commercial thin films and coatings have their origins in this science and separation processes (chromatography, flotation methods) are likewise based on manipulation of ionic liquid interfaces.
