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. |

These micelles are thought to be flexible cylinders and may be described by a
self - association model similar to that ... Our immediate aim is to estimate the
value of AGO as accurately as possible and , from this , to determine the micelle

If the hydrophobic core of the micelle has a radius equal to the length of a fully
extended chain ( 1 . 67 nm ) , it will contain approximately 56 chains . The model
predicts that the free energy cost of packing the chains into this structure is less ...
