    Course Description

    This course on surfactants initially reviews the various types and chemical structures of commercially available surfactants.  An understanding of the role of chemical bonding as it relates to surface tension is explored.  The course progresses to a better understanding of various surface activities including surface area, surface tension, surface pressure, wetting, surface transport and micelle formation.  Then, we explore the world of foam with respect to how surface active agents stabilize and de-stabilize bubbles at the surface or as entrained air.  Finally, a review of surfactants as an aid to the dispersion process and the measurements of surface tension in both static and dynamic conditions.  While targeted to formulating chemists, this course is also well suited for marketing, sales, production and customer service personnel.  Managers and supervisors would also benefit by having a better understanding, and appreciation, of the important role surfactants play to the production and application of quality paints and coatings.  Learn more here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OZraWdRm74
