This is the first book on interfacial rheology. It aims to describe
both its history as well as the current, most frequently used
experimental techniques for studying dilational and shear rheology
of layers at liquid/gas and liquid/liquid interfaces. The book
opens with a chapter on the fundamentals of interfacial rheology.
All (16) contributions include the theoretical basis for the
presented methodologies, and experimental examples are given.
This book describes in detail the scientific philosophy of the
formation and stabilization-destabilization of foams. It presents
all hierarchical steps of a foam, starting from the properties of
adsorption layers formed by foaming agents, discussing the
properties of foam films as the building blocks of a foam, and then
describing details of real foams, including many fields of
application. The information presented in the book is useful to
people working on the formulation of foams or attempting to avoid
or destruct foams in unwanted situations.
Food Colloids: Interactions, Microstructure and Processing
describes the principles and practice underlying the formulation of
food emulsions, dispersions, gels, and foams. Emphasis is on
understanding how the functional properties of biopolymers and
surfactants determine the texture and shelf-life of multiphase food
materials. This book provides essential new findings by experts in
the field on specific topics including: the interfacial rheological
properties of proteins; the use of microscopy and image analysis to
probe structure and phase transitions; the control of colloidal
stability during thermal and mechanical processing; the
interactions of proteins with polysaccharides and emulsifiers; the
incorporation of neutraceuticals into food colloids; and the
consumer perception of taste and texture. Food Colloids:
Interactions, Microstructure and Processing provides a link between
current research on the fundamental physical chemistry of colloidal
systems and the requirements of the food technologist to use modern
colloid science in new product formulation. It is suitable for
postgraduates and researchers, both in industry and academia.
This book describes the most important experimental methods for
characterizing liquid interfaces, such as drop profile analysis,
bubble pressure and drop volume tensiometry, capillary pressure
technique, and oscillating drops and bubbles. It presents practical
experimental details as well as the underlying theoretical bases.
In addition, the book covers a number of applications based on
drops and bubbles, such as rising bubbles and the complex process
of flotation. It also offers a discussion on wetting, characterized
by the dynamics of advancing contact angles.
Food Colloids: Fundamentals of Formulation describes the
physico-chemical principles underlying the formulation of
multi-component, multi-phase food systems. Emphasis is placed on
the interfacial properties of proteins and the role of protein
interactions in determining the properties of emulsions,
dispersions, gels and foams. The coverage includes authoritative
overviews of conceptual issues as well as descriptions of new
experimental techniques and recent food colloids research findings.
Specific topics include atomic force microscopy, aggregation
phenomena, coalescence mechanisms, crystallization processes,
surface rheology, protein-lipid interactions and mixed biopolymer
systems. This book provides essential new material for those active

both in industry and academia.
The third volume in a series dedicated to colloids and interfaces,
Drops and Bubbles in Contact with Solid Surfaces presents an
up-to-date overview of the fundamentals and applications of drops
and bubbles and their interaction with solid surfaces. The chapters
cover the theoretical and experimental aspects of wetting and
wettability, liquid-solid interfacial properties, and spreading
dynamics on different surfaces, including a special section on
polymers. The book examines issues related to interpretation of
contact angle from nano to macro systems. Expert contributors
discuss interesting peculiarities, such as the phenomena of
super-spreading and super-hydrophobicity. They discuss specific
solid surfaces-for example, reactions and wetting of liquid metals
at high temperatures-and the interaction between nano-bubbles at
solid surface and nano-particles at liquid interfaces. The book
also includes a chapter on electro-wetting. Given the range of
topics covered in this volume, the state-of-art content is useful
to readers looking for an introductory overview as well as those
looking for in-depth exploration of material related to the
interaction of fluids with solid surfaces. It is a valuable
contribution to the field of characterization of solid surfaces and
can be used as a working tool or to stimulate further study for
researchers and students.
The book aims at describing the most important experimental methods
for characterizing liquid interfaces, such as drop profile
analysis, bubble pressure and drop volume tensiometry, capillary
pressure technique, and oscillating drops and bubbles. Besides the
details of experimental set ups, also the underlying theoretical
basis is presented in detail. In addition, a number of applications
based on drops and bubbles is discussed, such as rising bubbles and
the very complex process of flotation. Also wetting, characterized
by the dynamics of advancing contact angles is discussed
critically. Special application like a double capillary arrangement
for single drop manipulations, and the so-called fibre drop
analyzer are presented as excellent examples for the use of drops
in interfacial science.

Colloid and interface science dealt with nanoscale objects for
nearly a century before the term nanotechnology was coined. An
interdisciplinary field, it bridges the macroscopic world and the
small world of atoms and molecules. Colloid and Interface Chemistry
for Nanotechnology is a collection of manuscripts reflecting the
activities of research teams that have been involved in the
networking project Colloid and Interface Chemistry for
Nanotechnology (2006-2011), Action D43, the European Science
Foundation. The project was a part of the intergovernmental
framework for Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST),
allowing the coordination of nationally funded research across
Europe. With contributions by leading experts, this book covers a
wide range of topics. Chapters are grouped into three sections:
"Nanoparticle Synthesis and Characterization," "New Experimental
Tools and Interpretation," and "Nanocolloidal Dispersions and
Interfaces." The topics covered belong to six basic research areas:
(1) The synthesis of nanostructured materials of well-defined size
and function; (2) Analytical methods and tools for control and
characterization of synthesized nanomaterials; (3) Self-assembly of
nanomaterials, such as microemulsions and micelles, and their
applications; (4) Bioinspired nanostructured materials-structure,
properties, and applications; (5) Design of active, soft functional
interfaces with unique properties for sensors, catalysts, and
biomedical assays; and (6) Nanoscale elements in soft nanoscale
devices for applications in analytical and biomedical sciences.
This book describes highlights in nanotechnology based on
state-of-the-art principles in colloid and interface science,
demonstrating how great progress in the various branches of
nanotechnology can be achieved. The application of these principles
allows for the development of new experimental and theoretical
