The field of polymer colloids is a particularly fertile one with interest changing from natural latex to
a wide variety of synthetic latices reflecting the use of these materials in an increasingly large number
of novel applications. This book presents research on proteins, polymers, polyelectroytes, and
surfactants which interact strongly with the surface of polymer latex particles. Topics include interface
thermodynamics, permeation through polymer latex films, mechanical properties of composite polymer
layer films, colloid titrations, and oscillatory low of suspensions.
From the Preface: “...The contents of this volume reflects [a] wide interest with chapters ranging
from the preparation and properties of conducting particles, as well as composite particles and
swellable particles. The ability to thoroughly characterize polymer colloids has long been a corner-stone of
their use in fundamental work and new techniques such as dielectric spectroscopy and neutron
scattering are becoming increasingly important...”
