Polymer Colloids
“Polymer Colloids” by Rodney Priestley, published by the Royal Society of Chemistry on December 2, 2019, is a comprehensive text that delves into the significant academic and industrial research surrounding polymer-based colloids. This 416-page book serves as a fundamental resource in the field, addressing both established technologies like latexes for coatings and innovative applications in areas such as 2D/3D structures and medicine.
Readers will find a structured exploration of polymer colloids, beginning with the formation processes, which cover essential properties of emulsions and dispersion polymerization. The book also discusses microfluidic techniques for producing polymer-based colloids and methods for directed self-assembly. Subsequent sections focus on characterization methodologies, including microscopy and small angle scattering, as well as applications like Pickering emulsions and molecular engineering for materials development. This edition is designed for researchers and practitioners engaged in polymers, soft matter, and chemical and molecular engineering.
Official synopsis Publisher
Academic and industrial research around polymer-based colloids is huge, driven both by the development of mature technologies, e.g. latexes for coatings, as well as the advancement of new materials and applications, such as building blocks for 2D/3D structures and medicine. Edited by two world-renowned leaders in polymer science and engineering, this is a fundamental text for the field.
Based on a specialised course by the editors, this book provides the reader with an invaluable single source of reference. The first section describes formation, explaining basic properties of emulsions and dispersion polymerization, microfluidic approaches to produce polymer-based colloids and formation via directed self-assembly. The next section details characterisation methodologies from microscopy and small angle scattering, to surface science and simulations. The final chapters close with applications, including Pickering emulsions and molecular engineering for materials development.
A comprehensive guide to polymer colloids, with contributions by leaders in their respective areas, this book is a must-have for researchers and practitioners working across polymers, soft matter and chemical and molecular engineering.
