    AN INTRODUCTION TO INTERFACES AND COLLOIDS
    The Bridge to Nanoscience

    by John C Berg (University of Washington, USA)

    Table of Contents (108k)
    Preface (48k)
    Chapter 1: Introduction (9,001k)

    Errata

    The textbook seeks to bring readers with no prior knowledge or experience in interfacial phenomena, colloid science or nanoscience to the point where they can comfortably enter the current scientific and technical literature in the area.

    Designed as a pedagogical tool, this book recognizes the cross-disciplinary nature of the subject. To facilitate learning, the topics are developed from the beginning with ample cross-referencing. The understanding of concepts is enhanced by clear descriptions of experiments and provisions of figures and illustrations.

    The Solutions manual is available upon request for all instructors who adopt this book as a course text. Please send your request to berg@cheme.washington.edu.

     
    Contents:
    • Fluid Interfaces and Capillarity
    • Thermodynamics of Interfacial Systems
    • Solid-Liquid Interactions
    • Colloidal Systems: Phenomenology and Characterization
    • Electrical Properties of Interfaces
    • Interaction Between Colloid Particles
    • Rheology of Dispersions
    • Emulsions and Foams
    • Interfacial Hydrodynamics
     
    Readership: Senior undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry, physics, materials science, chemical engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering and related fields.
     
    “Born of decades of diverse experience performing research and teaching in the field of surface and colloid science, Prof. Berg's new textbook is a must buy for students just entering the field, as well as for experts. I find myself frequently referring to the book as a reference when writing grants. Prof. Berg's organization of the subject matter, combined with his exquisitely clear descriptions that provide a molecular level understanding of phenomena, have set a new standard for textbooks in the field.”

    “ it serves as an excellent entry into the field, giving the student more than enough support to understand the concepts … Anyone working in the area of colloids/interfaces should have a copy of this book. It makes an excellent reference book if you are an advanced practitioner and an excellent text if you are just getting started.”
