This benchmark reference in surface and colloid science presents practical, fundamental material
on interfacial electric phenomena in aqueous and nonaqueous systems as well as their relation to
colloid stability. In this second edition, information on key achievements and advances of the last decade
are introduced, revised, updated, and expanded. There are 15 new chapters dedicated to these
developments.
Intending to promote further research, Electrical Phenomena at Interfaces, 2nd
Ed. provides a complete understanding of the rudiments of electrokinetic phenomena; experimental methods for
measurement; industrial applications and real-life problems; and techniques for analyzing data. It reveals
novel theories regarding electrophoresis of soft (polyelectrolyte-coated) particles as a model for
biological cells; dynamic electrophoresis in concentrated suspensions; electrophoresis of composite
particles; electrostatic interaction between charged colloidal particles; the structure of electrical double
layers and double-layer interactions; applications in areas from latex surfaces and cement pastes to
micelles, emulsions, and coal—water mixtures; and more.
From the Preface: “...In addition to active contributors from the first edition, many new authors
have joined to contribute to this edition. The contents have thus been almost totally rewritten and
updated...”
Target Audience: Physical, surface, colloid, and polymer chemists; chemical and
manufacturing engineers working in the paint, pigment, paper, textile, detergent, cosmetic, pharmaceutical,
and reprography industries; electrochemists; biochemists and biophysicists; electrical engineers;
rheologists; and upper-level students in these disciplines.
