Surface and colloid chemistry principles impact many aspects of
our daily lives, ranging from the cleaners and cosmetics we use to
combustion engines and cement. Exploring the range of this field of
study, Surface and Colloid Chemistry provides a detailed analysis
of its principles and applications and demonstrates how they relate
to natural phenomena and industrial processes.
Surface and colloid chemistry at work in nature and
industry:
- rain drops
- combustion engines
- soap bubbles
- foam
- food products
- air pollution
- waste-water treatment
- washing and cleaning
- cosmetics
- painting and printing
- oil and gas production
- oil spills
- plastics and polymers
- biology and pharmaceuticals
- milk products
- cement
- adhesive
- coal
The book begins with an introduction to surfaces and colloids.
It describes basic considerations regarding liquids and
capillarity, and examines the liquid-solid interface phenomena. It
explores the physicochemical properties of surfactants,
Langmuir-Blodgett films, adsorption on solid surfaces, and
adsorption as it relates to cleaning processes. Then the author
examines colloidal systems and thin liquid films before moving on
to emulsion science and technology. The final chapter provides
examples of applications in science and a range of industries.
Examples and Illustrations
Integrating real-world examples throughout the text, this volume
stimulates readers to consider both fundamental theory and
industrial applications. More than 100 figures elucidate the
concepts described in the text. Sample questions and answers are
provided where appropriate, along with detailed data and
discussions. Pertinent references are offered to facilitate further
study.
