Publisher's Synopsis
Volume 1
Interfacial Phenomena and Colloid Stability- Basic Principles deals with the fundamental aspects of interfacial phenomena, which form the basis of applications of interface and colloid science to various disperse systems. These include suspensions, emulsions, nano-dispersions, wetting, spreading, deposition and adhesion of particles to surfaces. This book is valuable for research scientists and PhDs. investigating various aspects of interface and colloid science.
Volume 2
Interfacial Phenomena and Colloid Stability- Industrial Applications provides the knowledge that is essential for the composition of the complex multi-phase systems used varied areas of application. It enables the chemist as well as the chemical engineer in designing the formulation on the basis of a rational approach, and the formulation scientist to better understanding the factors responsible for producing a stable product with optimum application conditions.
- Demonstrate the importance of the fundamental aspects of interfacial phenomena in various industrial applications
- Interdisciplinary approach: Enabled only by enough insights in all involved disciplines (surface chemistry, materials science, physics)
- Improving selectivity and activity: Through operating on the interface level
Tharwat F. Tadros. He works as a consultant in multiple applied fields of colloid and interface science and is actively engaged in research work. In several institutions and industrial laboratories he gives training courses in numerous colloid and interface science fields. He has been awarded two medals from the Royal Society of Chemistry in the UK.
