Synopsis

This text is both an introduction to the field and a bridge to the more specialist texts that are available, and includes recent ideas that have been developed on the interactions between particles and the concentrated state. It covers the fundamentals of colloid and interface science, placing emphasis on concentrated systems and the ideas associated with them. This book takes a user-friendly, non-mathematical approach. It includes the widely used techniques such as rheology in greater depth than other introductory texts. It gives many practical examples of colloid and interface science. It provides guidance on how to apply new ideas to a number of different systems.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Colloids are all around us and we interact with them constantly whether through exciting new technological areas such as nanotechnology, complex fluids and soft matter technology, or even more mundane systems such as foods, coatings or cleaning agents. This text is both an introduction to the field and a bridge to the more specialist texts that are available, and includes recent ideas that have been developed on the interactions between particles and the concentrated state.

Many workers coming to the field of colloids for the first time find the current advances too daunting for them to attempt to apply the ideas to their systems. By the nature of the subject, some areas are necessarily complex, but when this occurs this text includes a calculation strategy so that the reader can judge the depth required for the application under study. Many commercial systems are complex mixtures but in most cases the basic rules apply and surprises only occur when there is a quite specific interaction present. Hence, using this text, the user will always have the fundamentals readily to hand. This book summarises such fundamentals in an accessible fashion and is relevant for undergraduate cour ses on chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, material science or pharmaceutics.

Revue de presse

" does a great job introducing a lot of complex concepts in a very concise, dense, and clearly written way." ( Polymer News)

"...an excellent introduction...uses a that will appeal to many industrialists...certainly recommend the book..." (Chemistry & Industry, 19 April 2004)

"...accessible and readable book...a significant achievement...good value for money..." (Chemistry World, May 2004)

ideal for beginners to this specialised field who are in industry . (Materials World, September 2004)

both an introduction to the field and a bridge to the more specialized texts summarized in an accessible fashion (Polymer International, Vol.53, No.11 November 2004)

I would definitely recommend this book to my students and to everyone who is interested in the fascinating science of colloids . (Applied Organometallic Chemistry, March 2005)
