Colloidal OrganizationAuthor(s): Tsuneo Okubo\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc, United States\nImprint: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc\nISBN-13: 9780128021637, 978-0128021637\nSynopsis\nColloidal Organization presents a chemical and physical study on colloidal organization phenomena including equilibrium systems such as colloidal crystallization, drying patterns as an example of a dissipative system and similar sized aggregation. This book outlines the fundamental science behind colloid and surface chemistry and the findings from the authors own laboratory. The text goes on to discuss in-depth colloidal crystallization, gel crystallization, drying dissipative structures of solutions, suspensions and gels, and similar-sized aggregates from nanosized particles. Special emphasis is given to the important role of electrical double layers in colloidal suspension. Written for students, scientists and researchers both in academia and industry and chemical.
