Features: This book is one of the best textbooks in colloid and surface science. It provides a comprehensive, concise, and vivid introduction to the main aspects of surface, interface, and colloid science. It particularly focuses on gas-liquid and gas-solid surfaces, liquid-liquid and liquid-solid and solid-solid interfaces, surfactants, adsorption, colloids and their stability, emulsions, foams, aerosols, polymers at interfaces, associated colloids, solubilization and microemulsions, wetting and spreading, friction and wear, adhesion, etc. To understand these systems and phenomena, it also introduces the nature of fundamental physical chemistry effects such as van der Waals forces, electrostatic forces, and capillary forces. The book consists of 19 chapters. The feature of this book is that it correctly introduces the relevant basic theories and concepts without using advanced mathematical tools, laying a solid foundation for applications in various fields.
