Opis

Presents the latest research on the flow and structure of complex particulate sustemsions, the adsorption behavior of polymers, and the consolidation behavior and mechanical properties of films. Highlights recent advances in polymer functionality, conformation, and chemistry for biological, biomedical, and industrial applications.

Recenzje

"This book continues the successful Surfactant Science series. As with other books in this series, this edition is a collection of research papers from experts in the field. As such, it gives an excellent 'snapshot' of recent or current activity in this area. … I enjoyed this book. … [F]or someone with a working knowledge of the science of polymers and colloids who wants to get a useful snapshot of current research in the field, this book will provide useful information."
