"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…
Noble metal nanoparticles have acquired an enormous scientific and technological interest due to their unique optical properties, which are related to surface plasmon resonances. This peculiar interaction of light with nanometals can be widely tuned through the morphology and th…

This book explores the potential of hydrogels as a multiutility system and their benefits (biocompatibility, degradability, and supporting scaffolds) for a wide range of applications in diagnostics and therapeutics. It also discusses the future prospects and challenges facing hy…
First Published in 1986, this book offers a full, comprehensive guide to the application of hydrogels in medicine. Carefully compiled and filled with a vast repertoire of notes, diagrams, and references this book serves as a useful reference for students of medicine and other pr…
The subject of this volume is limited in that it addresses amphiphiles at liquid/air, liquid/liquid, and liquid/solid interfaces, with litte attention paid to vapor/solid interfaces. This volume will serve to summarize our current understanding of interfacial structure at the mo…
Addresses amphiphiles at liquid/air, liquid/liquid, and liquid/solid interfaces, colloidal systems such as micellar solutions, microemulsions, emulsions, dispersions, slurries, etc., as well as flows at and wetting of macroscopic interfaces. Aids understanding of interfacial str…
This textbook for advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students provides an introduction to the development, mechanisms, chemistry, characterization techniques and applications of sol-gel processing methods. Wright (University of Kent) and Sommerdijk (Eindhoven Univers…
