| - '"The treatments are consistently thorough, articulate, appropriately illustrated, and insightful." Journal of Colloid and Interface Science 244 (2001)' -
- '"... an authoritative treatise of [colloid science]. It is a book that will be 'dipped' into, with the reader finding a clear and complete description of the particular area. It is well written and annotated with suitable exercises in each chapter. I recommend it to research students and other scientists in the fields of colloid science, chemical engineering, pharmaceutical and food science."

| Description | | - Coherent text: most books of comparable scope are multi-authored. this revision has a single author dedicated to making the text consistent throughout and flow in a logical manner
- Clarity of explanation: the first edition was noted for its clarity of exposition and every effort has been made to improve on that in the second edition
- Exercises: give students experience of the problem-solving skills required. Also permit much algebraic material to be relegated to exercises
| This is a completely revised, reorganised, and updated second edition of the classic textbook on colloid science, provided for the first time in a single volume.
Colloid science is the study of systems involving small particles of one substance suspended in another. Suspensions of liquids form the basis of a wide variety of systems of scientific and technological importance including
paints, inks, ceramics, cosmetics, soils, biological cells, and many food preparations. Although concentrating on systems involving suspensions of solids in water, the development here is made in terms which can be readily extended to the other less frequently encountered systems.
The book explains the principles of colloid science, and provides a clear account of the fundamental physical and
chemical concepts on which our understanding of colloidal systems depends. The accent is on making the theories accessible by providing all necessary development. |
Readership: Advanced undergraduates, graduates, and scientists and engineers in industry. Courses in Colloid and Surface Science.
