Colloid–Polymer Interactions: From Fundamentals to Practice

Owing to their crucial role in many technical processes, colloid–polymer interactions have been actively researched in recent years. Yet none of the books available on polymer and colloid chemistry provide specific guidelines to the manipulation of the stability of colloidal materials central to such diverse industries as paint/coatings, film, food processing, water treatment, paper, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural chemicals. This book fills a gap in the field, imparting the basic understanding readers need to deal with applications in the real world.
