"Fluid mechanics, the study of how fluids behave and interact under various forces and in various applied situations - whether in the liquid or gaseous state or both - is introduced and comprehensively covered in this widely adopted text. Fully revised and updated with the addit…
Wetting and Spreading Dynamics explains how surface forces acting at the three-phase contact line determine equilibrium, hysteresis contact angles, and other equilibrium and kinetics features of liquids when in contact with solids or with other immiscible liquids. It examines th…
Films of phospholipids and biologically relevant surfactants at the air-water interface provide a well-defined medium to study molecular alignment, phase behavior and interactions of biomembranes and lung surfactant with exogenous materials. Interactions between lung surfactant …
"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…
