Interfacial Phenomena

There have been significant advances in the understanding of interfacial phenomena since the publication of the first edition. Updated to reflect the increased interest in interfaces and surfactant behavior, Interfacial Phenomena: Equilibrium and Dynamic Effects, Second Edition presents a concise summary of the governing principles in interfacial interactions, emphasizing equilibrium phenomena, flow, transport, and stability. It features a new chapter on mass transfer measurements and key experimental techniques for the determination of microstructure in colloidal dispersion and surfactant systems. It also includes expanded chapters with new information on surfactant-polymer interactions and transport effects on interfacial stability.
