Features: This book is a revision based on the 1991 edition. It remains divided into eight chapters, introducing fundamental concepts of colloid and surface chemistry, the preparation and properties of colloids, gels, interfacial phenomena and adsorption, common adsorption structures, properties, and modifications, surfactants, emulsions, and polymer solutions. Each chapter has been appropriately enriched with new research findings, such as ultrafine particles, fractal theory, LB films, micelle catalysis, carbon molecular sieves, and attapulgite. Especially, it closely aligns with the practical realities of China's production and research, providing detailed elaborations on gels, adsorbents, solid surface modifications, microemulsions, and flocculants, which is one of the key features of the book. The entire book is concise and clear in its explanations, combining the characteristics of both teaching and self-study, making it highly applicable. This book can serve as a textbook or teaching reference for colloid and surface chemistry in engineering disciplines of universities, as well as a reference for engineering and research personnel in industries such as chemical engineering, pharmaceuticals, petroleum and oilfield chemistry, daily chemicals, mineral processing, and textiles.
