Part of the book series: Progress in Colloid and Polymer Science ((PROGCOLLOID,volume 63))

Abstract

A detailed study dealing with non-ionic surfactants, has been given by Schwartz and Perry (1). The influence of non-ionic surfactants on the quantity and type of low emulsions has been studied by Matijok (2). Elworthy and Florence (3) studied in detail the emulsion stability, using a series of non-ionic surfactants as emulsifiers for emulsions, and have explained their results on the basis of electrical and entropic contributions and the chain lengths of the surfactants used. The effect of some sorbitan esters on the interfacial activity on sodium lauryl sulphate has been observed by Wan and Poon (4).
