Ordering And Phase Transitions In Charged Colloids

* Physical chemists will find this book comprehensive. Topical reviews on all aspects of colloidal ordering and related phase transitions will be covered. It provides a good blend of experimental and theoretical investigations.
* Useful to materials scientists and chemical engineers, the book includes a discussion of stability, important from the point of view of applications of colloidal crystals.
* Physicists will be interested in the book, because it highlights the controversy over effective interparticle interaction in charged colloids.
