Colloidal Foundations of Nanoscience explores the theory and concepts of colloid chemistry and its applications to nanoscience and nanotechnology. It 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, and addresses its relevance to nanoscience before introducing case studies. Gathers in a single volume the information currently scattered across various sourcesStraightforward introduction of theoretical concepts and in-depth case studies help you understand molecular mechanisms and master advanced techniquesIncludes chapter on self-assembly as an alternative to nanostructured phasesIncludes examples showing applications of classical concepts to real-world cutting-edge research INDICE: 1.
