Colloid and Surface Engineering

This volume originated from the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of engineering science which traditionally has considered the area known as colloid and surface science to be a specialist subdivision of physical chemistry. In practice, surface phenomena infiltrate many areas of diverse technological interest involving product development, manufacturing and biologicl and environmental processes. This first volume considers applicaitons in the proces sindustries and deliberately involves a wide range of process technologued udner three main hedings. The scope of the subject material is such that it is not intended necessarily to present a definitive view of the state of the art in each of the respective topics but to represent a stimulating introduction to the principles of treating colloidal materials.
