Basic Principles of Colloid Science

Fülszöveg

'Basic Principles of Colloid Science' provides an excellent introduction to the subject, based on the application of the principles of physical chemistry. It stresses the widespread occurrence of colloids and outlines the more important industrial applications of colloid technology.
Early chapters assume only an elementary knov\/ledge of physical chemistry and provide the basis for more thorough discussion in later chapters, covering specific aspects of colloid science. The final chapter deals with the future of colloid science and indicates the directions in which further developments are likely to take place.
The book is ideal for undergraduate courses and, supplemented by further reading, for postgraduate courses too. It will also be useful to industrial research workers who wish to become familiar with the basic concepts of colloid science and their many important applications to industry.

Douglas Everett is Emeritus Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Bristol. From 1954—1982 he was Leverhulme Professor of Physical Chemistry at Bristol and was a Pro-Vice Chancellor from 1973—1976. He was previously (1948—54) Professor of Chemistry at University College, Dundee, University of St. Andrews (now Dundee University). He is a graduate of the Universities of Reading (B.Sc., D.Sc.) and Oxford (M.A., D.Phil.) and was one of the first group of I.C.I. Fellows, and later a Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford. He was awarded an M.B.E. (Civil) in 1946.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He was for many years on the Council of the Faraday Society, later the Faraday Division of the Chemical Society and the R.S.C., and served as a Vice President for four periods and as President (1976—78). He was a Tilden Lecturer (1957) and was the first recipient of.the Chemical Society Award in Surface and Colloid Science (1971). From 1969—1973 he was Chairman of the I.U.P.A.C. Commission on Colloid and Surface Chemistry. Currently he is a Vice President and General Secretary of the British Association for the Advancement of Science and President of the International Association of Colloid and Interface Scientists.
His main interests have been in the application of thermodynamics to a wide range of physico-chemical phenomena, concentrating more recently on surface and colloid science. Vissza
