Description
Book SynopsisThe understanding of how small solid particles operate at liquid interfaces is minimal. This book brings together the topics actively being investigated, with contributions from experts in the field. It will be of interest to researchers in chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, pharmacy, food science and materials science.
Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: '… for researches already working in the area of colloidal particles at liquid interfaces, and also for those who want to enter this fascinating field, this book is a must.' Angewandte Chemie
