Synopsis

The first volume of "Foundations of Colloid Science" was essentially an advanced textbook of colloid science, suitable for students and researchers in the areas of colloid science, surface chemistry and polymer studies. Volume 2 contains material which has been extended to include some important new areas, and topics discussed in the first volume are developed to a much greater depth. An introductory chapter on the theory of liquids describes the concept of correlation functions and the use of Fourier transforms to analyze the scattering of light and neutrons by colloidal systems. Adsorption is given detailed coverage and a chapter on electrokinetics introduces a new approach to time dependent processes in the double layer. The principles of double layer theory are also used to review the behaviour of thin films and emulsions (both macro and micro). A final chapter on the rheology of colloidal suspensions calls on many of the concepts discussed earlier to bring some cohesion to this rapidly developing field.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is a completely revised, reorganised, and updated second edition of the classic textbook on colloid science, provided for the first time in a single volume. Colloid science is the study of systems involving small particles of one substance suspended in another. Suspensions of liquids form the basis of a wide variety of systems of scientific and technological importance including paints, inks, ceramics, cosmetics, soils, biological cells, and many food preparations. Although concentrating on systems involving suspensions of solids in water, the development here is made in terms which can be readily extended to the other less frequently encountered systems. The book explains the principles of colloid science, and provides a clear account of the fundamental physical and chemical concepts on which our understanding of colloidal systems depends. The accent is on making the theories accessible by providing all necessary development.

Revue de presse

"The treatments are consistently thorough, articulate, appropriately illustrated, and insightful." Journal of Colloid and Interface Science 244 (2001)

"... an authoritative treatise of [colloid science]. It is a book that will be 'dipped' into, with the reader finding a clear and complete description of the particular area. It is well written and annotated with suitable exercises in each chapter. I recommend it to research students and other scientists in the fields of colloid science, chemical engineering, pharmaceutical and food science." Dr Bernard Binks in Chemistry and Industry, Sep. 2001
