Fully updated, this book covers surfactants in biomedical applications, detergents, personal care, food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and nanotechnology. It reflects on the latest developments in biobased surfactant science and provides case scenarios to guide readers in efficient and effective biobased surfactant application, along with strategies for research into new applications.
This book is written from a biorefinery-based perspective by an international team of experts and acts as a key text for researchers and practitioners involved in the synthesis, utilization, and development of biobased surfactants.
- Describes new and emerging biobased surfactants and their synthesis and development
- Showcases an interdisciplinary approach to the topic, featuring applications to chemistry, biotechnology, biomedicine, and other areas
- Presents the entire lifecycle of biobased surfactants in detail
Academics in science and engineering who are synthesizing biobased surfactants or utilizing them for specific applications; Companies that develop and/or use biobased surfactants: foods, cosmetics, biomedicine, personal care, paints/coatings, lubrication, environmental cleanup, and detergents; Government and academic laboratories involved with research and development of biobased products and biorefinery operations; Feedstock providers (e.g., algae, seed oils, amino acids); Biotechnology industrial sector
