"This book provides a clear and understandable text for users and developers of advanced engineered materials, particularly in the area of thin films, and addresses fundamentals of modifying the optical, electrical, photo-electric, triboligical, and corrosion resistance of solid…
"This comprehensive reference describes various methods and techniques used to characterize dispersions and measure their physical and chemical properties - explaining principles essential for the interpretation of data and understanding the real meaning of the results." "With m…
Many good books have been written recently on this new field called biomimetics or bionics, but few exploring simultaneously the characterization and technological processes to produce man-made surfaces with similar properties as the biological ones. Bio-inspired surface struct…
The paper, paint and ink industries use colloidal systems which consist of heterogeneous mixtures of particles. This book is an introduction to the area of science which seeks to understand processes which govern the behaviour of these systems.

"The science of surface and colloid chemistry has been expanding at a rapid pace, resulting in new areas of development, additional applications, and more theoretical and experimental information on related systems. Completely revised and expanded to reflect the very active worl…
"Ordinary foams such as the head of a glass of beer, and more exotic ones such as solid metallic foams, raise many questions for the physicist. A substantial research community has grown up in recent years to study these substances. This book describes the results of extensive e…
"Providing a brief summary of colloid chemistry, this reference details the preparation of dispersions in liquids - bridging the gap in information between the chemist who is not applications oriented and the chemical engineer who needs to solve problems in the field based on th…
"The first volume in the Surfactants Science Series in 20 years to concentrate solely on the analysis of anionic surfactants, Anionic Surfactants: Analytical Chemistry, Second Edition examines in detail the preparation, structure, and composition of common types of anionic surfa…
"This up-to-date reference presents a comprehensive survey of important anionic surfactants - delineating the latest manufacturing technologies, current methods of analysis, practical applications, environmental behavior, and the physicochemical and toxicological properties of s…
This unique reference discusses the physics and physical processes of foams and foaming - delineating various state-of-the-art measurement techniques for characterizing foams and foam properties as well as the chemistry and application of foams. Furnishing over 1225 citations to…
The theme and contents of this book have assumed a new significance in the light of recent ideas on nanoscience and nanotechnology, which are now beginning to influence developments in food research and food processing. The fabrication of nanoscale structures for food use relies…
