Surface and Colloid Chemistry (eBook, PDF)

Principles and Applications

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Grounded in real applications, this volume provides an introduction to the fundamentals and applications of surface and colloid chemistry. Presenting an overview of liquid surfaces, the book also describes the liquid - solid interface phenomena, colloid chemistry systems, emulsion science aspects, and more complex issues. Data from real-world examples are provided to encourage comprehension of both fundamental theory and the ever-increasing industrial applications. To comprehend the material, readers need only a basic background in general chemistry or physics. Key sample questions and answers are included and references are provided for more advanced students and scientists from other fields.
