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. |

As Guggenheim points out , the problem stems from the very notion of an
electrostatic potential at a point . It measures the work done in bringing an
infinitesimal charge from infinity up to the point in question . The charge must be
so small that it ...

This raises the question of which potential is to be used in the equations for the
repulsive potential energy . Since the interaction occurs between the diffuse
layers it would seem to be more reasonable to assess the magnitude of VR from
the ...
