Recenzje

"The book is rich with highly relevant figures, graphs, and tables, and its relevance is enhanced by the detail that it goes into when assessing easily recognizable off the shelf products. The strength of this book lies in the way that it is clearly set out into the appropriate sections, and it may be easily used to obtain either a cursory or detailed knowledge of each type of detergent as required. Whether student or professional, it is very easy to find the part that you want and access the relevant information…an outstanding resource for students or professionals at any level who are working with liquid detergents."
-Mark Imisides, Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Vol. 7, No. 1

"The book will be a useful reference volume for workers in this area: it gives some frame formulations but is particularly useful in covering the theory behind the use of the various components in liquid detergents."
-Richard Farn, Chemistry & Industry, October 2006
