Features: This book is a revised version based on the second edition of 1997. It introduces the basic concepts, preparation, and properties of colloids, gels, interfacial phenomena, and adsorption. It also covers the structures and properties of common adsorbents, surfactants, and emulsions. Additionally, it incorporates new research findings and applications in the field of colloid and surface chemistry (such as nanomaterials, blood rheology, superabsorbent gels, adsorption of certain chemical substances in biological processes, pressure swing adsorption, treatment of drinking and wastewater, micelles and vesicles, and multiple emulsions). The book maintains the characteristic of combining theory with practical applications from the previous two editions, closely aligning with the actual production and research 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, offering certain guidance. The book features clear concepts and is suitable for both teaching and self-study, with strong targeting and applicability. It can serve as a textbook or teaching reference for relevant majors in engineering colleges, as well as a reference for engineering technicians and scientific researchers in fields such as applied chemistry, chemical engineering, oilfield chemistry, life science, environmental science, medicine, mineral processing, and textiles.
