The second, revised and enlarged edition of this monograph provides an integrated introduction to the classification, formation and occurrence, stability, and uses of the most common types of colloidal dispersion in the process-related industries.
Although the initial emphasis covers basic concepts essential for understanding colloidal dispersions, this is done in the context of emulsions, foams, suspensions, and aerosols, and is aimed at providing the necessary framework for understanding industrial and medical applications.
Therefore, the first part of the book introduces the fundamental principles, whereas the following chapters discuss a wide range of industrial applications and examples, serving to emphasize the different methodologies that have been successfully applied.
Mayor additions to the new edition comprise the field of aerosols providing the neccessary theoretical background as well as a overview on industrial applications and environmental impact.
