I -- Dissolution Rates of Surfactants -- Equilibrium Adsorption of Surfactants at the Gas–Liquid Interface -- Surfactants Containing Hydrolyzable Bonds -- Practical Surfactant Mixing Rules Based on the Attainment of Microemulsion–Oil–Water Three-Phase Behavior Systems -- II -- New Paradigms for Spreading of Colloidal Fluids on Solid Surfaces -- Fluorescence Probing of the Surfactant Assemblies in Solutions and at Solid–Liquid Interfaces -- Surfactant-Mediated Fabrication of Optical Nanoprobes -- Directed Synthesis of Micro-Sized Nanoplatelets of Gold from a Chemically Active Mixed Surfactant Mesophase -- Colloid Chemistry: The Fascinating World of Microscopic Order.

Given the enormous interest in surface phenomena in areas ranging from materials science to applications in life science, this volume is a very timely addition to the literature. Emphasis is on surfactants mediating interfacial and molecular aggregation phenomena, and the following topics are reviewed in particular: dissolution rates, equilibrium adsorption, mixing rules, and spreading on a solid surface of surfactants, as well as the role of surfactants in mediating a range of processes, such as the fabrication of various nanomaterials. Written and edited by leading experts, this volume is dedicated to Professor Dinesh O. Shah, one of the pioneers in this field.
