Hydrophile Lipophile Balance of Surfactants and Solid Particles

This Book Considers the Different Concepts of Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance (Hlb) of Surfactants and Solid Particles and the Main Physicochemical Properties of Surfactant and Solid Interfaces Which Are Used to Definite the Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance. the Book Comprehensively Analyses All Interfacial and Bulk Properties of Surfactants Used for the Determination of Hlb (Such As Interfacial Tension, Distribution Coefficient, Adsorption, Surface Pressure, Surfactants Solubility, Structure Characteristics, Distribution Between Heteropolar Phases, Micellar Formation, Chromatographic Characteristics, Phase Separation in Emulsions, Phase Inversion Temperature, Formation of Three Phase Systems). the Central Point of the Book is the Energetic Interpretation of the Balance, I.E. the Hydrophile-Lipophile Ratio. at the Same Time the Hlb - Number Systems of Griffin and Davies and Other Independant Methods of the Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance Definitions Are Discussed Pit, Polarity Indexes, Surfacta
