Description
Colloid science is the study of systems involving small particles of one substance suspended in another. This book lays down the fundamental physical and chemical concepts on which our understanding of such systems depends. It also looks in depth at several areas of research interest, some of which have received little attention elsewhere. This book is intended for advanced undergraduate/graduate students in colloids/materials science/engineering. Researchers in the fields of colloid and surface chemistry, civil and chemical engineering, materials science, pharmaceuticals, soil science, polymer science, mineral processing.
