Colloidal Dispersions by Earl K. Fischer. Preface: This monograph
is planned as a guide to the theory and practice of the dispersion
of solids in liquid media. Throughout the writing I have had in
mind readers in several pro fessional categories: one is the
physical and colloid chemist who is un familiar with the technical
aspects of the subject; another is the scientist in industry who is
compelled by the exigencies of his work to concentrate on product
development but finds that an understanding of theory is the most
effective basis on which to design new products; a third is the
production supervisor who is interested in the science and
engineering underlying the operations in his care but who is too
busy to seek their exposition in widely scattered places. There are
others, I hope, who will also find the volume interesting and
usable. The topics forming the substance of this book are part of
the large province of colloid science. An effort has been made to
provide a coherent account of the physical properties of colloidal
dispersions and the methods for producing them. Innovations and
refinements in research techniques have brought a new insight to
the structure of these dispersions. In particular, mention should
be made of methods for particle-size measurement, experimental
means for gauging the interaction of dispersed particles, and new
reagents that offer a measure of control for some of the physical
properties. There remain, of course, unanswered questions, and the
subject abounds with engaging and important research problems. This
book is intended to supplement the well-known and easily ac
cessible monographs on surface and colloid chemistry. Information
has been drawn fromdiverse sources. In an effort to keep the book
of moderate size I have been perplexed by the inevitable problem of
selec tion, for pertinent material is to be found in the literature
of many in dustries and branches of science. I have endeavored to
document the work adequately and to bring subjects into their
correct historical per spective. Where available information ran
low, I have, on occasion, taken the liberty of speculating, and the
reader will find hypotheses advanced at various points through the
book.
