Abstract:
"This is a completely revised, reorganised, and updated second edition of the classic textbook on colloid science, provided for the first time in a single volume." "The book explains the principles of colloid science, and provides a clear account of the fundamental physical and chemical concepts on which our understanding of colloidal systems depends. The accent is on making the theories accessible by providing all necessary development." "This book is aimed at research students and industrial researchers in the fields of colloid science, chemical, mining and mechanical engineering, agriculture, soil science, ceramics, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, and related areas."--BOOK JACKET.
