A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This manual was written at the request of the Colloid Committee of the National Research Council. Most of the experiments have been tested in the laboratorycourse given at Oberlin for the past six years, while others have been contributed by the leading colloid chemists of this country. There has long been need of a suitable laboratory manual to advance the teaching of colloid chemistry, and for lack of such a book instruction has lagged. Lecture courses in plenty are given at various universities, but in very few institutions is there a real laboratory course in the subject. It is the laboratory method of instruction that has advanced science so wonderfully in the last half century; obviously, instruction in colloids must develop in the same way. The general interest in the subject grows apace. Not only theoretical chemists but industrial men as well are expressing the belief that a great many of their problems are colloidal. Hundreds of able chemists would study colloid chemistry in their private laboratories if a self-teaching manual were available. To meet this demand this manual offers a large amount of text material in the way of comment and explanation. The carefully selected references for collateral reading will guide the experimenter and enable him to pursue his studies with a minimum of wasted effort. It is, as the author knows from personal experience, very difficult for the beginner in the subject to know what to read first, or what experiments are worth performing. Twenty years ago, when colloid chemistry was still in its swaddling clothes, chemists concerned themselves too much with the mere preparation of new colloids, just as organic chemists once prided themselves too much on the mere preparation of new compounds.
