Principles of Colloid and Surface Chemistry, Revised and Expanded

This work aims to familiarize students with the fundamentals of colloid and surface science, from various types of colloids and colloidal phenomena, and classical and modern characterization/measurement techniques to applications of colloids and surface science in engineering, technology, chemistry, physics, and biological and medical sciences.
