Description
This thoroughly updated edition continues to provide a concise overall coverage of colloid and surface chemistry, intermediate between the brief accounts in physical chemistry textbooks and the comprehensive coverage in specialized treatises.New information is included on the composition and structure of solid surfaces, dynamic light scattering, micro emulsions and colloid stability control. The book provides a sound, but easy to follow theoretical framework. It outlines relevant research techniques and considers technological applications. A basic knowledge of the principles of physical chemistry is assumed. It will appeal to a wide readership, both undergraduate and postgraduate students at universities and colleges of technology as well as scientists in industry who need a broad background in the subject.

Person
Duncan J. Shaw, now deceased, was sole author of the previous four editions of this book and was formerly Principal Lecturer in Physical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Liverpool Polytechnic, UK (now Liverpool John Moores University). The first edition of this classic book was first published way back in 1966, the second in 1970, the third in 1980 and the fourth in 1992. This new, updated fifth edition is testament to the strong legacy Shaw left with the book, which remained a favourite despite its over three decades on from the fourth edition publication.
