Fundamentals of interface and colloid science pdf download

Sales tax will be calculated at check-out. Free Global Shipping. The emphasis is on the basic facts and phenomena, which are systematically explained. FICS aims to make interface and colloid science accessible to a wide audience. Interface and colloid science is an important and fascinating field, but one that is often overlooked and undervalued.

It has applications as diverse as agriculture, mineral dressing, oil recovery, industrial chemistry, medical science and biotechnology. A deductive approach is followed, with systems of growing complexity being treated as the book progresses. Volume I: Fundamentals 1st ed. The volume starts from first principles and gradually increases the level. Volume II: Solid-Liquid Interfaces treats the subject systematically for the first time, including adsorption, double layers and electronkinetics.

Accessible to a wide audience without a detailed knowledge of physics and chemistry Complex mathematical derivations are kept to a minimum Treats interfacial and colloidal phenomena from first principles advanced command of physics and chemistry not required Takes the reader from elementary to expert level Acts as a reference and a textbook Contains extensive and detailed cumulative subject index.
