Opis

Written by leading experts, this book provides comprehensive coverage of both theoretical and practical aspects of emulsions. Thoroughly revised and expanded, it presents fundamental concepts and processes in emulsified systems, such as flocculation, stability, and coalescence as well as advanced concepts such as inversion in emulsion systems, spon

Recenzje

“This new edition contains a wealth of information and insights regarding emulsions, including experimental and theoretical, fundamental and practical aspects. The authors are leading scientists in the field of emulsions. … The book includes about 1400 references and a subject index.”
—Arthur Hubbard, in Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2006
“This book is a revised and expanded version of the first edition. … full of interesting chapters by experts from a wide variety of backgrounds, in industry and academia. It will be valuable to those working in the pharmaceutical sciences, principally because of its strong theoretical base. The book is extensively referenced and should be a port of call for postgraduates and researchers working in two-phase systems.”
—A. T. Florence, United Kingdom, in International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2007
“Nineteen chapters describe fundamentals aspects of emulsification and related issues, including environmental practicalities. On the whole, this is a well-conceived and presented book. The editor has balanced the different elements of this research area in a thoughtful manner, and each chapter makes a full contribution to the overall collection. … This book should therefore appeal to a wide range of readership – it embraces both the fundamental and technological aspects of emulsions, presented from theoretical and experimental viewpoints, in a clear and concise manner.  ”
— Peter Griffins, Chemist Department, Cardiff University, UK, in Chemistry & Industry, Issue 11, June 2007
