Description
This book covers major areas of modern Colloid and Surface Science (in some countries also referred to as Colloid Chemistry) which is
a broad area at the intersection of Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Material Science investigating the disperse state of matter and surface
phenomena in disperse systems. The book arises of and summarizes the progress made at the Colloid Chemistry Division of the Chemistry
Department of Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) over many years of scientific, pedagogical and methodological work.
Throughout
the book the presentation of fundamental theoretical and experimental approaches and results is combined with discussion of general scientific
basis of their role in nature and applications in various technological processes.
Audience
For graduate students, engineers, technologists, and academic and industrial scientists working in the areas that deal with the applications related to disperse systems and interfacial phenomena.
