Foundations of colloid science, Volume 1Liquid suspension systems are the basic ingredients of paints, detergents, biological cells, and countless other systems of scientific and technological importance. This book presents the fundamental physical and chemical concepts necessary to the understanding of these systems and of colloid science in general. New ideas are introduced carefully and formulae are developed in full, with exercises to help the reader throughout. The frequent references to the many applications of colloid science will be especially helpful to beginning research scientists and people in industry, medicine and agriculture who often find their training in this area inadequate. Integrating developments from the time of colloid science's infancy 40 years ago to its present state as a rigorous discipline, this intelligently assembled work elucidates a remarkable range of concepts, techniques, and behaviors. |

It decreases with the sixth power of the separation between the atoms and has
little effect beyond a distance of about 1 nm. Since colloidal particles are often
very rough and rarely approach one another to this distance, except possibly at a

(4.4.9) In the limit as the bodies are separated by a distance large compared to
the largest dimension of each body, the distance |r — r'| can be replaced by R,
the distance between the centres of mass of the two bodies, and eqn (4.4.8)
reduces ...
