Front Cover
John Wiley & Sons, Jul 16, 2004 - Science - 296 pages
This text is both an introduction to the field and a bridge to themore specialist texts that are available, and includes recent ideasthat have been developed on the interactions between particles andthe concentrated state. It covers the fundamentals of colloid andinterface science, placing emphasis on concentrated systems and theideas associated with them.
  •  Takes a user-friendly, non-mathematical approach
  • Includes the widely used techniques such as rheology in greaterdepth than other introductory texts
  • Gives many practical examples of colloid and interfacescience
  • Provides guidance on how to apply new ideas to a number ofdifferent systems
