Features: This book is a revised version based on the second edition published in 1997. It introduces the basic concepts, preparation, and properties of colloids, gels, interfacial phenomena and adsorption, the structure and properties of common adsorbents, surfactants, emulsions, and more. It also supplements new research findings and applications in the field of colloid and surface chemistry (such as nanomaterials, blood rheology, superabsorbent gels, adsorption of certain chemicals in biological processes, pressure swing adsorption, treatment of drinking water and wastewater, reverse micelles and vesicles, multiple emulsions, etc.). The book maintains the characteristic of combining theory with practical applications from the previous two editions, closely aligning with the actual production and research work in China. It introduces some issues closely related to colloid and surface chemistry in disciplines such as materials science, life science, environmental science, medicine, and oil extraction, providing certain guidance. The book features clear concepts, catering to both teaching and self-study, with strong targeting and applicability. It can serve as a textbook or teaching reference for related majors in engineering colleges on colloid and surface chemistry, as well as a reference for engineering technicians and scientific personnel in fields such as applied chemistry, chemical engineering, oilfield chemistry, life science, environmental science, medicine, mineral processing, and textiles.
