Colloidal Foundations of Nanoscience, Second Edition explores the theory and concepts of colloid chemistry and its applications to nanoscience and nanotechnology. The book provides the essential conceptual and methodological tools to approach nano-research issues. The authors' expertise in colloid science will contribute to the understanding of basic issues involved in research. Each chapter covers a classical subject of colloid science in simple and straightforward terms, addressing its relevance to nanoscience before introducing case studies. Sections cover colloids rheology, electrokinetics, nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), bio-layer interferometry, and the treatment of inter-particle interactions and colloidal stability. Gathers, in a single volume, information currently scattered across various sourcesProvides a straightforward introduction on theoretical concepts and in-depth case studies to help readers understand molecular mechanisms and master advanced techniquesIncludes examples showing the applications of classical concepts to real-world cutting-edge research Edited and written by highly respected quality scientists INDICE: 1.
