Foundations of Colloid Science
Foundations of Colloid Science by Robert J. Hunter is a thoroughly revised and updated second edition published by Oxford University Press on February 15, 2001. This comprehensive textbook spans 816 pages and is presented in English, focusing on the study of colloid science, which examines systems where small particles of one substance are suspended in another.
Readers will find a detailed exploration of the principles underlying colloid science, with an emphasis on systems involving solid suspensions in water. The book provides a clear account of the fundamental physical and chemical concepts essential for understanding colloidal systems. It also addresses a variety of applications relevant to scientific and technological fields, including paints, inks, ceramics, and food preparations, making the theories accessible through thorough explanations and necessary developments.
Official synopsis Publisher
This is a completely revised, reorganised, and updated second edition of the classic textbook on colloid science, provided for the first time in a single volume.
Colloid science is the study of systems involving small particles of one substance suspended in another. Suspensions of liquids form the basis of a wide variety of systems of scientific and technological importance including paints, inks, ceramics, cosmetics, soils, biological cells, and many food preparations. Although concentrating on systems involving suspensions of solids in water, the development here is made in terms which can be readily extended to the other less frequently encountered systems.
The book explains the principles of colloid science, and provides a clear account of the fundamental physical and chemical concepts on which our understanding of colloidal systems depends. The accent is on making the theories accessible by providing all necessary development.
