Salient points have been presented in as simple a manneras possible, while detailed examination of specific points of the theoryhas been left to those whose qualifications and interests better fit themfor such tasks.In this volume, I have compiled basic formulations of many typesof emulsion. This compilation is intended to provide graphic illustrationof the breadth of emulsion technology. The formulations can alsoprovide a starting point for the development of new and improved emulsionproducts and represent the types of product that can be madeand their major constituents.These formulations are provided by manufacturers to illustrate theuse of their products. The suitability of any product for marketing,or the determination of the patent position regarding any formulation,is the responsibility of the person who manufactures and/or sells theproduct.Many firms have generously provided formulation suggestions,and they merit my sincere appreciation for their help. Their contributionsare acknowledged by appropriate references at the end of eachchapter.
