The issue is dedicated to Professor Dr. h. c. Milan Schwuger on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Most of the papers included in this volume are related to the central theme: the interaction of surface active agents with solid materials. It comprises an impressing overview of the actual research in colloid science and reveals expected trends of this strongly developing field at the turn of the millennium.Honoring Milan Johann Schwuger on his 60th birthday.- Lipid monolayers to understand and control properties of fluid interfaces.- Preparation of three morphologically different states of a lamellar phase.- Solubilization of toluene in phospholipid vesicles studies by video-enhanced contrast microscopy.- On the origin of electrostatic interaction in foam films from ABA triblock copolymers.- Molecular interactions and the quantitative prediction of synergism in mixtures of surfactants.- Water solubilization by surfactant aggregates in organic solvents: Limitations of the multi-state water model.- Colloid science in oil and gas production and transportation.- Recovery of surfactant from micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration using a precipitation process.- An overview of surfactant enhanced aquifer remediation.- Physicochemical properties of ?-sulfonated fatty acid esters.- Vapor pressures of phenethyl alcohol and phenethyl acetate in aqueous solutions of sodium xylene sulfonate and polyvinylpyrrolidone.- Spontaneous emulsification of oil drops containing surfactants and medium-chain alcohols.- The influence of ethylene glycol on the phase behavior of aqueous microemulsions in quaternary systems.- Fundamentals of the development and applications of new emulsion types.- Electrical conductivity of aqueous polymer solutions.- Towards a quantitative description of ionization properties of linear and branched polyelectrolytes.- Polymer adsorption on a patchwise heterogeneous surface.- Adsorption of poly (diallyl-dimethyl-ammoniumchloride) (PDADMAC) and of copolymers of DADMAC wlå
