The book "Surface-active substances and polymers in aqueous solutions", edited by Boris Davidovich Suma, is a real treasure for specialists in the field of chemistry, materials science and related sciences . This is the second edition translated from English by G. P. Yampolsky offers the reader an in-depth look at the interaction of surfactants (SPAs) and polymers in aqueous solutions, making it an indispensable source of information for researchers, students and practitioners. The book covers a wide range of topics related to the physical chemistry of surfactants and polymers, their properties and behavior in aquatic systems. The reader will be able to learn how these substances affect various processes, such as emulsifying, stabilizing suspensions and forming films. An important part of the publication is to discuss the mechanisms of interaction, which allows a deeper understanding of how surfactants and polymers can be used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, the food industry and environmental technologies. This book will be of interest not only to professional chemists and engineers, but also to senior students studying chemistry, physics and biochemistry. If you are passionate about science and want to expand your knowledge of surfactants and polymers, this edition will be a real guide for you. It is suitable for those who are just beginning their journey in this field, and for experienced professionals seeking to update their knowledge about the latest achievements and research. One of the key topics raised in the book is the influence of the structure of surfactant molecules and polymers on their behavior in solutions. This knowledge is critical for the development of new materials and technologies, which makes the book especially relevant in the context of rapidly developing science. In addition, the authors pay attention to the environmental aspects of the use of surfactants, which emphasizes the importance of sustainable development and a responsible approach to chemical research. The style of writing the book is clear and accessible, which allows even complex concepts to be explained simply and clearly. Boris Davidovich Summ, known for his work in the field of physical chemistry, and his colleagues, such as Krister Holmberg, emphasize the practical application of theoretical knowledge, which gives the book special value. Their experience and deep understanding of the subject make this publication not only informative, but also inspiring for future research. If you are looking for literature on topics such as “surfactants”, “polymers in solutions”, “physical chemistry” or “materials for sustainable development”, this edition will be an excellent choice for you. The book “Surface-active substances and polymers in aqueous solutions” is not just a textbook, but a real encyclopedia of knowledge that will help you understand complex processes and open new horizons in your professional activity. Do not miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of chemistry and discover the amazing properties and opportunities that surface-active substances and polymers provide.
