Zusatztext "...a worthwhile addition to libraries serving students and researchers in colloid and interface science! or related areas such as chemisty." (American Reference Books Annual! Vol. 33)"...recommended to chemists! chemical engineers! and students...and for industrial settings! special libraries! and academic libraries..." (E-Streams! Vol. 5! No. 7) Informationen zum Autor LAURIER L. SCHRAMM, PhD, is Executive Director of the Petroleum Recovery Institute. He is also an adjunct professor of chemistry at the University of Calgary, where he leads a research group and lectures on applied colloid and interface chemistry. Klappentext An indispensable reference for professionals and students alike Dictionary of Colloid and Interface Science includes more than 300 terms, with tables, references, and a biographical section that puts important developments in colloid and interface science into historical perspective. This dictionary is appropriate for professionals and students alike, and proves itself to be a ready reference for navigating the colloidal and interfacial literature. A valuable working resource for chemists and chemical engineers, Dictionary of Colloid and Interface Science contains: * Concise definitions of key terms in colloid and interface science and their synonyms, abbreviations, and acronyms * Key equations and constants * Important named colloids and phenomena * Profiles of over 60 major names in colloid and interface science Zusammenfassung This 2nd edition provides a guide to the terminolgy of colloid and interface science. It is a source for terminology, definitions, synonyms, acronyms, and named colloids, equations, and phenomena. It is completely cross-referenced, introducing 300 new terms, tables, and references.
