Zusatztext "...a valuable addition to any technical library...concisely covers five books' worth of material in two handy volumes..." (Polymer News) Informationen zum Autor Krister Holmberg , Since 1998 Professor of Applied Surface Chemistry at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden 1991-1998 Director of the Institute for Surface Chemistry in Stockholm, Sweden 1988-1991 Research Director of Berol Nobel, Stenungsund, Sweden Klappentext This handbook is the only reference work of its kind in the important field of applied surface and colloid chemistry. Unique in scope and including an enormous wealth of mainly practically orientated information it treats the topic in a thorough and comprehensive manner. The Handbook of Applied Surface and Colloid Chemistry will demonstrate the wide range of fields in which the fundamental science has been applied. It is practically organised into five sections: Surface chemistry in important technologies Surfactants Colloid systems and layer structures at surfaces Phenomena in surface chemistry Analysis and characterization in surface chemistry With emphasis on 'wet' surface chemistry, a variety of applications are presented such as pharmaceuticals and food, detergency, agriculture, paints, paper-making, emulsion polymerization, mineral processing and oil production. The chapters on the four major classes of surfactants (anionics, nonionics, cationics and zwitterionics), on physicochemical properties and on important colloidal systems (solid dispersions, foams, vesicles and liposomes, and microemulsions) as well as the coverage of the major analysis and characterization techniques, ensure that this handbook will be welcomed by material scientists in both industry and academia. Written by an international team of scientists, this work will be essential reading for all those in industrial and academic institutions carrying out colloid and surfactant research, development and manufacture. Zusammenfassung This two-volume handbook presents a scientific perspective on the applications and phenomena within colloid and surfactant chemistry. It provides readers with new and practical information that will be useful for applied work. Inhaltsverzeichnis Contributors List. Foreword. Preface.
