This new edition provides students and professionals with a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of colloid science theory, methods, and applications. Emphasizing the molecular interactions that determine the properties of colloidal systems, the authors provide an authoritative account of critical developments in colloid science that have occurred over the past several decades. Combining all of the best features of a professional reference and a student text, the Second Edition features: * Concept maps preceding each chapter that put subject matter into perspective. * Numerous worked examples - many new to this edition - illustrating key concepts. * More than 250 high-quality illustrations that help clarify processes described. * A new chapter that integrates the development of colloid science and technology in the twentieth century with challenges facing the field today. The Colloidal Domain, Second Edition is an indispensable professional resource for chemists and chemical engineers working in an array of industries, including petrochemicals, food, agricultural, ceramic, coatings, forestry, and paper products. It is also a superb educational tool for advanced undergraduate and graduate-level students of physical chemistry and chemical engineering.

Fundamentals of Interfacial Engineering Robert J. Stokes D. Fennell Evans Fundamentals of Interfacial Engineering defines the newly emerging, cross-disciplinary field of interfacial engineering. It gives students a coherent, integrated approach to the field, while offering engineering instructors an excellent starting point for curriculum development. The text emphasizes the fundamental concepts underlying interfacial phenomena and how these concepts are reduced to practice in processing and manufacturing settings. Unique in its broad scope, the book establishes connections between interfacial phenomena in all materials systems, and draws attention to the similarities and distinguishing differences between liquids, polymers, and crystalline solids. The first section outlines the fundamental intermolecular interactions that occur in all interfacial systems from individual molecules to molecular assemblies, and extends to introduce the nature of forces across the interface between particles. The second section describes the properties, processing, and behavior of fluid interfacial systems, and the final section treats solid surfaces and interfaces. Each chapter features explicit examples that illustrate applications to different processes and product situations. Fundamentals of Interfacial Engineering is a useful introductory overview for senior-level undergraduate and first-year graduate students in chemical engineering, materials science, polymer science, and electronics engineering, as well as for industrial and government researchers seeking knowledge of interfacial phenomena across disciplinary lines.
