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 forty years ago to its present state as a rigorous discipline, this intelligently assembled work elucidates a remarkable range of concepts, techniques, and behaviors. |

Now consider the consequences of the fact that the forces on opposite sides of
an infinitesimally small cube must be equal and opposite for mechanical
equilibrium . The net pressure normal to the surface must be constant right
through the ...

This equation shows that fo is not equal to the surface tension , y , except for a
specific choice of the Gibbs dividing surface , namely that where Euili = 0 ; this is
a very easy and natural choice for a one - component system , but highly unusual
