Popis: Surfactant. For the purpose of this book, a surfactant is a substance which in solution, particularly aqueous solution, tends to congregate at the bounding surfaces, i.e. the air-solution interface, the walls of the containing vessel and the liquid-liquid interface if a second liquid phase is present. As a result, the various interfacial tensions are reduced.
