Colloid-Polymer Interactions From Fundamentals to Practice

P>Of related interest . . . THE COLLOIDAL DOMAIN Second Edition Where Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Technology Meet D. Fennell Evans and H?kan Wennerstrom Fully updated and revised, this new edition of the critically acclaimed book incorporates information on key developments in colloid science and technology in the twentieth century. It provides a unified treatment of colloid theory, methods, and applications to specific systems, complete with concept maps, new worked examples, and more than 250 illustrations. 1999 (0-471-24247-0) 672 pp. FUNDAMENTALS OF INTERFACIAL ENGINEERING Robert J. Stokes and D. Fennell Evans This book emphasizes the importance of the intermolecular forces that hold materials together within a bulk phase or across an interface. It examines the fundamentals of the intermolecular interactions along with the properties, processing, and behavior of fluid interfacial systems. Solid surfaces and interfaces are also discussed. 1996 (0-471-18647-3) 736 pp. POLYMER HANDBOOK Fourth Edition Edited by J. Brandrup, E. H. Immergut, and E. A. Grulke Now in a fourth edition, the Polymer Handbook is one of the most comprehensive resources of fundamental, validated property data of polymeric materials necessary for polymer research. This edition boasts over 30% new material, covering such advances as the new pvt relationships and copolymer reactivity parameters. Improved nomenclature for better indexing and search and retrieval is also provided. 1999 (0-471-16628-6) 2336 pp.
