Revising, updating and expanding information on developments since the late 1980s, the second edition of this work presents practical, fundamental material on interfacial electric phenomena in acqueous and nonaqueous systems, as well as their relation to colloid stability. The book includes 15 additional chapters that reflect collaborative efforts with new experts in the field.

Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors is the third volume in the JSME Series on Thermal and Nuclear Power Generation, which presents a comprehensive view of the latest research and activities from around the globe. Volume Editors Masaki Morishita and Hiroyuki Ohshima, along with their team of expert contributors, combine their knowledge and experience to provide a solid understanding of the history of SFRs and work carried out in Japan to date. This book uniquely includes case studies from these global regions to highlight SFR uses, benefits and challenges, focusing on their safety, design, operation, and maintenance. Unique to this publication, the JSME cover key technological advances which will shape power generation of the future, including developments in the use of AI for design. Drawing on their unique experience, the authors pass on lessons learned and best practices to support professionals and researchers in their development and design of this advanced reactor type.

"Colloid and Interface Science in Pharmaceutical Research and Development" describes the role of colloid and surface chemistry in the pharmaceutical sciences. It gives a detailed account of colloid theory, and explains physicochemical properties of the colloidal-pharmaceutical systems, and the methods for their measurement.

The book starts with fundamentals in Part I, coveringfundamental aspects of colloid and interface sciences as applied to pharmaceutical sciences and thus should be suitable for teaching. Parts II and III treat applications and measurements, and they explains the application of these properties and their influence and use for the development of new drugs.
Provides a clear description of the fundamentals of colloid and interface science relevant to drug research and developmentExplains the physicochemical/colloidal basis of pharmaceutical scienceLists modern experimental characterization techniques, provides analytical equations and explanations on analyzing the experimental dataDescribes the most advanced techniques, AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), SFA (Surface Force Apparatus) in detail"

Flat-panel displays and sensors have found a variety of commercial, industrial and military applications with active areas from less than 1cm2 to almost 1m2, with many more promising applications still waiting to be explored. Flat-panel displays can be transmissive or reflective, viewed direct or projected, passive- or active-matrix driven, emissive or non-emissive. The continued advancement in flat-panel display and sensor applications will certainly be driven by cost and performance advantages which are dependent on the advancement of materials and process technologies. This book, first published in 2000, brings together researchers on all types of flat-panel display and sensor principles, materials and processes. Topics include: inorganic low-voltage phosphors; thin-film phosphors; field emission displays; field emission devices and displays; TFTs and displays; microelectronics; AMLCD; large area processes; sensors; organic luminescent materials; OLEDs and electroluminescent materials; organic EL; novel fabrication and materials for field emitters; carbon and diamond field emitters and theory and modeling of electron field emission.
