Basic Principles of Dispersions

Description

Volume 2 of the Handbook of Colloid and Interface Science is a survey into the theory of dispersions in a variety of fields, as well as characterization by rheology. It is an ideal reference work for research scientists, universities, and industry practitioners looking for a complete understanding of how colloids and interfaces behave in the areas of materials science, chemical engineering, and colloidal science. Preface Contents 1. Flow characteristics (rheology) of colloidal dispersions 2. Wetting and spreading 3. Solid/liquid dispersions (suspensions) 4. Liquid/liquid dispersions (emulsions) 5. Multiple emulsions 6. Gas (air)/liquid dispersions (foams) 7. Liquid/solid dispersions (gels) 8. Polymer colloids (latexes) 9. Microemulsions 10. Liposomes and vesicles 11. Deposition of particles at interfaces and their adhesion 12. Characterization, assessment and prediction of stability of colloidal dispersions Index
