"The book systematically describes one major branch of modern particle characterization technology - the light scattering methods. This is the first monograph in particle science and technology covering the principles, instrumentation, data interpretation, applications, and latest experimental development in laser diffraction, optical particle counting, photon correlation spectroscopy, and electrophoretic light scattering. In addition, a summary of all major particle sizing and other characterization methods, basic statistics and sample preparation techniques used in particle characterization, as well as almost 500 latest references are provided." "The book is a must for industrial users of light scattering techniques, characterizing a variety of particulate systems, and for undergraduate or graduate students, who want to learn how to use light scattering to study particular materials in chemical engineering, material sciences, physical chemistry and other related fields."--Jacket
