Synopsis
Rear Cover "This book provides a broad, fundamental introduction to the concepts and theories of surfaces, interfaces, and colloids. Written primarily for the non-expert, it emphasizes the phenomenology of interactions at substance and phase interfaces, with their practical applications and consequences. While this book primarily covers the most fundamental aspects of the subject, it also provides extensive citations to more detailed references. Practical problems and case histories are also included to highlight the principles involved. It will be of interest to chemists, chemical engineers, biologists, physicists, engineers and by many other readers with a broad range of backgrounds."

From the Back Cover
From the reviews of the First Edition: "The book has admirably met its stated goal. The whole gamut of surface and colloid science has been presented in a comprehensive manner without any undue oversimplification. The author should be congratulated for his clarity." -Advanced Materials Now in its second edition, this work remains the single most useful introduction available to the complex area of surface and colloids science. Industry expert Drew Myers walks readers through concepts, theories, and applications-keeping the mathematics to a minimum and presenting real-world case studies to illustrate key technological and biological processes. He substantially reorganizes and updates the material to reflect the current state of knowledge in the field, offering new chapters on absorption and biological systems in addition to the important areas of colloid stability, emulsions and foams, monolayer films, surfactants, and wetting. This revision also boasts an improved index, more than 200 new line drawings, general and specific chapter bibliographies, and end-of-chapter problems. Geared to scientists, technologists, and students dealing with colloidal and surface systems and their numerous industrial applications, the book imparts an understanding of the fundamental aspects of surfaces, interfaces, and colloids, which is essential for effective solutions in diverse areas of chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, engineering, and material sciences.
