Colloids show great potential in a wide variety of applications, including drug delivery and medical imaging, and the design and fabrication of colloid systems has attracted considerable interest in t
The common perception is that nanoscience is something entirely new, that it sprung forth whole and fully formed like some mythological deity. But the truth is that like all things scientific, nanosci
Silicone is an important class of materials used in applications that range from industrial assembly to everyday consumer products. Silicones are often delivered and synthesized in dispersion forms, t
"Biosurfactants can successfully replace and augment the properties of chemically synthesized surface-active agents. This book contains specialty chapters dealing with methods for production of biosur
Featuring a practical, unified approach to surface chemical bonding, this book provides the essential concepts, equations, limitations, and parametric values needed to deal with any surface bonding si
This book is a comprehensive account of the properties of air/aqueous electrolyte surfaces with emphasis on the contributions of simple ions to surface tension behavior, and the practical consequences
The fundamental problem of ion binding to natural colloids is a multidisciplinary research field which raises special challenges. These come mainly from the heterogeneous and sometimes ill-defined nat
In the 20 years since the publication of the author’s multi-contributor volume on defoaming, a vast amount of new work has been published and many new insights have been revealed. A cohesive, single-a
"Preface Properties of high surface area materials and their efficiency of application strongly depend on boundary effects and interfacial phenomena. These phenomena include diffusion of adsorbate and
In the formulation, processing, and applications of dispersions and composites, a good understanding of the physical properties is required. A number of books are available on the physical properties
Surface thermodynamics forms the foundation of any meaningful study of capillarity and wetting phenomena. The second edition of Applied Surface Thermodynamics offers a comprehensive state-of-the-art t
Colloids show great potential in a wide variety of applications, including drug delivery and medical imaging, and the design and fabrication of colloid systems has attracted considerable interest in t
The governing rationale of the reference is that characterizing and analyzing surfaces and interfaces should be pursued in the context of problem solving rather than relying on the capabilities of one
The Most Detailed Resource Available on Points of Zero ChargeWith their work growing in complexity, chemists involved with surface phenomena-related projects have outgrown the common resources availab
The chief objective of Miller (Rice U.) and Neogi (U. of Missouri-Rolla) in presenting this text on interfacial phenomena (an interface being a surface forming a common boundary among two different ph
Rheology of Particulate Dispersions and Composites provides comprehensive coverage of fundamental principles and equations that govern the rheology for particulate dispersions and two-phase solid comp
Aimed at technical people not familiar with colloid science and silica chemistry, this book presents theoretical and experimental aspects of significant areas of colloidal silica science and technolog
Sjoblom (surface and colloid chemistry, Norwegian University of Technology and Sciences) provides detailed reviews of theoretical and practical aspects of emulsions. Chapters discuss spontaneous emuls
First published in 1993, Coagulation and Flocculation is a practical reference for the researchers in the field of the stabilization and destabilization of fine solid dispersions. By omitting chapters
Basing their work on concepts from colloid chemistry and colloidal hydrodynamics, Nguyen (U. of Newcastle, Australia) and Schulze (Max Planck Research Group for Colloids and Interfaces, Germany) descr
This up-to-date reference presents a comprehensive survey of important anionic surfactants - delineating the latest manufacturing technologies, current methods of analysis, practical applications, env
Numerous applications of micro-/nanofluidics are related to particle transport in micro-/nanoscale channels, and electrokinetics has proved to be one of the most promising tools to manipulate particle
