From blood to milk, pumice to gelatine, most scientists interact
with colloids on a daily basis without any real knowledge of their
nature. Building on the success of the first edition, "Colloids and
Interfaces with Surfactants and Polymers Second Edition" is a
user-friendly, non-technical introduction to colloids and
interfaces.
Includes: Many practical examples of colloid and interface
scienceAn enhanced section on fluorescence microscopy, a widely
used technique in biological systems for the optical imaging of
cellular structuresA new section on phenomenology (the principle of
time/temperature superposition), which enables the experimentalist
to extend the frequency range of their rheological instrumentsNew
information on sedimentation and strategies for the control of
sedimentation, which is critical in many dispersions of commercial
importanceFresh treatments of traditional theoretical topics like
the electrical double-layer, colloidal interactions, wetting
behavior and light scattering, as well as more recent advances in
polymer science, statistical mechanics and the use of
neutronsIn-depth discussions of widely used techniques with
mathematics used in a straight-forward way so quantitative
descriptions of colloid and interface properties can be derived
"Colloids and Interfaces with Surfactants and Polymers Second
Edition" explains all the fundamental concepts of colloids and
interfaces as well as detailing some of the more advanced aspects
which might be useful in specific applications. Intended for
undergraduate and graduate courses in colloids and soft materials,
the book is also relevant to those in the chemical, coatings,
cosmetics, ceramics, food, pharmaceutical and oil industries.
