Interfacial Phenomena and Colloid Stability

This volume provides the knowledge that is essential for the composition of the complex multi-phase systems used varied areas of application. It enables the physical and formulation 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. The main objective of this volume is to demonstrate the importance of the fundamental aspects of interfacial phenomena in various industrial applications. The text provides the reader with the knowledge that is essential for the composition of the complex multi-phase systems used in the above mentioned areas of application. It should enable the physical and formulation chemist as well as the chemical engineer in designing the formulation on the basis of a rational approach. It will also enable the formulation scientist to better understanding the factors responsible for producing a stable product with optimum application conditions. The book should also be very useful for teaching the subject of formulation at academic institutions.
