Integrating fundamental research with the technical applications
of this rapidly evolving field, Structure and Functional Properties
of Colloidal Systems clearly presents the connections between
structure and functional aspects in colloid and interface science.
It explores the physical fundamentals of colloid science, new
developments of synthesis and conditioning, and many possible
applications.
Theory
Divided into three parts, the book begins with a discussion of the
theoretical side of colloid dynamics. It then transitions to
dynamically arrested states and capillary forces in colloidal
systems at fluid interfaces.
Structure
Covering the structural aspects of different colloidal systems, the
second section examines electric double layers and effective
interactions as well as the structure of extremely bimodal
suspensions and filaments made up of microsized magnetic particles.
The contributors analyze the role played by the attractive
interaction, confinement, and external fields on the structure of
colloidal systems. They also discuss structural aspects in food
emulsions and the rheological properties of structured fluids.
Functional Materials
The last part focuses on examples of functional colloids. These
include polymer colloids, protein-functionalized colloidal
particles, magnetic particles, metallic nanoparticles, micro- and
nanogels, responsive microgels, colloidal photonic crystals,
microfluidics, gel-glass dispersed liquid crystals (GDLCs) devices,
and nanoemulsions.
This volume provides a sound understanding of the link between
the structure and functional properties in two- and
three-dimensional colloidal systems. It describes techniques to
functionalize colloids, characterization methods, the physical
fundamentals of structure formation, diffusion dynamics, transport
properties in equilibrium, the physical fundamentals of
nonequilibrium systems, the measuring principles to exploit
properties in applications, the differences in designing lab
experiments and devices, and several application examples.
