Colloid and interface science dealt with nanoscale objects for nearly a century before the term "nanotechnology "was coined. An interdisciplinary field, it bridges the macroscopic world and the small world of atoms and molecules. Colloid and Interface Chemistry for Nanotechnology is a collection of manuscripts reflecting the activities of research teams that have been involved in the networking project "Colloid and Interface Chemistry for Nanotechnology "(2006 2011), Action D43, the European Science Foundation. The project was a part of the intergovernmental framework for Cooperation in...

Physical Chemical Mechanics of Disperse Systems and Materials is a novel interdisciplinary area in the science of the disperse state of matter. It covers the broad spectrum of objects and systems with dimensions ranging from nanometers to millimeters and establishes a fundamental basis for controlling and tuning the properties of these systems as well as the processes taking place in them.

Physical chemical mechanics focuses on the analysis of the complex physical chemical interfacial phenomena taking place both in the transition of a dispersed system into a material, such...

Computational Methods for Complex Liquid-Fluid Interfaces highlights key computational challenges involved in the two-way coupling of complex liquid-fluid interfaces. The book covers a variety of cutting-edge experimental and computational techniques ranging from macro- to meso- and microscale approaches (including pivotal applications). As examples, the text:

• defines the most important interfacial quantities and their experimental investigations, providing theoretical background and detailed solutions,
• describes vital techniques used in interfacial flow problems, such...
