    The goalThe course provides an understanding of surfactants properties and behavior in aqueous solutions, and how this behavior can be used to stabilize different types of dispersed systems and changed the properties of solid surface.
    The outcomeAfter the students fulfilled all the requirements and passed the exam, they are acquired knowledge on surfactants and their properties; they are capable to choose a proper surfactant for different industrial application.
