After a general introduction into the mechanics of liquid menisci, chapters are dedicated to methods based on drops or bubbles. The chapters about the three main drop experiments provide the theoretical basis, a description of experimental set-ups, specific advantages and disadvantages, correction and calibration problems, experimental examples and their interpretation:...

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...

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...
