ABSTRACT

The field of Interfacial Science and Engineering isat the boundary of various subjects. It is required by manychemical and process industries and often there is overlapbetween the requirements. A study of this subject by itselfallows a unified approach to all these applications. The present talk will give a background of the interfacial forces, surfactants, the self-assembly of various structures and thebasic properties of these systems which are useful inapplications. The applications of this subject in variousfields such as paints, pharmaceutical, dyeing, textile, fuel, biotechnology, separations, reactions and biotechnology will also be discussed. Some of the work in our groupabout fuel, reaction media and foamability will also be reviewed.
