An Introduction to Dynamics of ColloidsAuthor(s): J.K.G. Dhont\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: Elsevier Science Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780444820099, 978-0444820099\nSynopsis\nOne of the few textbooks in the field, this volume deals with several aspects of the dynamics of colloids. A self-contained treatise, it fills the gap between research literature and existing books for graduate students and researchers. For readers with a background in chemistry, the first chapter contains a section on frequently used mathematical techniques, as well as statistical [url] of the topics covered include: diffusion of free particles on the basis of the Langevin equationthe separation of time, length and angular scales; the fundamental Fokker-Planck and Smoluchowski equations derived for interacting particles friction of spheres and rods, and hydrodynamic interaction of spheres (including three body interactions) diffusion, sedimentation, critical phe.
