Course contents :
|
| Surface active agents are present in numerous formulated products and used in the production process of many materials. This course aims to provide a comprehensive approach on general principles of surface-active agents physical chemistry and their formulation in finished products. The main families of surface-active agents will be presented (12h). Finally, the use of surfactants for the polymerization process in aqueous dispersed media will be discussed (3h). |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| This course aims to make students familiar with the surface-active compounds currently used in industry and to provide them with the underlying basic physico-chemical principles. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
