Associative Polymers in Aqueous Media: 765 (ACS Symposium Series) - Tapa dura

"The 22 papers in this volume are divided into two sections covering block copolymers and dendrimers, and surfactant-modified water-soluble polymers. The adsorption behavior of POE, HEUR, and HMPAM polymers is discussed, as is the solution behavior of HASE thickeners. Some of the topics are amphiphilic block copolymers as surfactants in emulsion polymerization, collapsed and extended polysoaps, fluorescence techniques for monitoring the solution properties of polyelectrolytes, and the network strength and junction density of a HASE polymer in non-ionic surfactant solutions."--SciTech Book News "The 22 papers in this volume are divided into two sections covering block copolymers and dendrimers, and surfactant-modified water-soluble polymers.

The focus of this volume is on surface active agents and their applications, including: coatings, detergents, water treatment, and petroleum recovery. It is an update on this area of significant industrial importance and includes reviews of work done in areas such as ethelyene oxide block copolymers, acrylic acid block copolymers, living free radical polymerizations, HMPAM and HEURs in flow, and flourescence studies of associative thickeners, among others.
