Modern aspects of colloidal dispersions

This volume provides a state-of-the-art overview of recent research on concentrated colloidal dispersions by an interdisciplinary group of physical chemists, physicists, chemical engineers, material scientists and polymer scientists. An account is given of new experiments, new theories and information from computer simulation. The dispersions discussed include aqueous polymer latices, both monodisperse and binary mixtures, emulsions, suspoemulsions, liquid crystals and powders, both at equilibrium and in flow. Audience: Research scientists, technologists and engineers whose work involves colloidal dispersions.
