Description
Fundamentals of Interface and Colloid Science: Solid-Liquid Interfaces is a comprehensive review of this important branch of science. It provides a systematic treatment of the subject, covering systems of growing complexity in a logical and structured way. By understanding the basic laws of physics and chemistry that underpin interface and colloid science, readers can gain insight into its many applications across various domains. The book emphasizes that interfaces are not autonomous phases, but rather properties that can be varied by changing the adjoining phases. This approach helps readers understand common principles behind a range of phenomena and develop and improve processes. Written by a leading expert in the field, this text is an important contribution to the subject, making it an excellent addition to any reference or study collection. Key features include a deductive approach to increase complexity, contributions from other experts, and a focus on understanding the properties of bulk phases before exploring interfacial properties.
