Welcome to Lab. FIRP

Happy New Year 2010!
A

ll the members of the Lab. FIRP executive committee join me in whishing you the best for 2010 in your personal and professional activities. We are starting the year deepening and expanding our information retrieval services on surfactants, emulsions, foams and other topics related with our R&D activities. A new bibliographical material will be available this month in the “treasure of technical documentation” section, in particular selected publications, not only free access papers, but also graduate thesis and dissertations, communications to congress and new FIRP booklets, which will be accessible for downloading from our web page. During 2010 first semester an i-library will be put in service in our web page with a restricted access limited to our professors and students, as well as to the researchers of our industrial partners. This i-library will offer a selection of well known textbooks, handbooks and encyclopedias to complement a package of about 2,000 of the most significant articles in surfactant science and technology as well as in an assortment of applications. Just to help you to wait for these new services, we are making available to you an outstanding review paper written by Paul Winsor in 1968 on amphiphilic compounds, which has been considered as some kind of postface of his 1954 famous book. We will make available to you such a milestone article at least every month in one of the various free access entries of our web page.

In February we offer a reading on "Supramolecular perspectives in colloid science" by M.A. Cohen Stuart and "Comparing Venezuelan and Canadian heavy oil and tarsands" by M.B. Dusseault.
In March we are adding some currently discussed issue on "Global warming - Facts, assessment, countermeasures" by D. G. Kessel
