Colloids in Paints: Colloids and Interface Science, Volume 6
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, June 2010, Pages: 270
The first modern approach to relate fundamental research to the applied science of colloids, this series bridges academic research and practical applications, thus providing the information vital to both. Written by the very best scientists in their respective disciplines, this volume describes the role of colloids in paints, highlighting the importance of fundamental research in industrial applications.
For surface, polymer and physicochemists, materials scientists, and chemical engineers.
Although colloidal dispersions are used in numerous areas of science and technology, very few colloidal systems are produced solely because of their colloidal nature. The scientists in industry have to understand the laws of colloidal systems in order to improve, e.g., applicability of materials, to find new fields of applications, to develop new products. Methods for stabilizing or destabilizing colloidal systems are indispensable for practical applications. For example, it may be necessary to produce a dispersion that is stable for a long period of storage but that destabilizes during application. Thus, it is important to understand the principles that determine the stability or instability of colloidal systems. The first volume includes an introduction to the nature of various forces and how these forces control the stability of the system. The following volumes are topical and treat the occurrence and application of colloids in the various industries. Volume 5 describes the role of colloids and interface science in paints.
