Micelles, Membranes, Microemulsions, and Monolayers [E-Book] / edited by William M. Gelbart, Avinoam Ben-Shaul, Didier Roux.
Over the last decades, the study of surfactants (detergents, for example) has been profoundly changed by ideas and techniques from physics, chemistry, and materials science. Among these are: self assembly; critical phenomena, scaling, and renormalization; high-resolution scattering, and magnetic res...
