This handbook makes the arduous task of selecting a rheology modifier for a specific application much easier. Technologists can now avoid searching through the technical literature for likely candidates, contacting suppliers for information and recommendations, and paring the list of candidates down from hundreds to a few dozen. With the information provided by the author of the handbook, users can make choices quickly and easily.

The book is divided into four useful sections. Part I reviews the fundamentals of rheology. Part II presents critical details on more than 1,000 commercially available rheology products, arranged alphabetically by chemical type, trade name and supplier's name.

Part III focuses on the selection of suitable rheology modifier candidates, summarizing the supplier's recommended applications for each type and covering pertinent regulatory issues when using a modifier in food or pharmaceutical applications. The handbook provides key information on specific rheology modifiers for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and household applications, covering 20 different types manufactured by 26 companies worldwide, and ranging from acrylic polymers to xanthan gum. Part IV contains 227 formulations showing which rheology modifiers are recommended for various applications and how they are incorporated into the formulation.
