SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Grounded in real applications, this volume provides an introduction to the fundamentals and applications of surface and colloid chemistry. Presenting an overview of liquid surfaces, it also describes the liquid - solid interface phenomena, colloid chemistry systems, emulsion science aspects, and more complex issues.
