• Sommario/riassunto: This text is both an introduction to the field and a bridge to the more specialist texts that are available, and includes recent ideas that have been developed on the interactions between particles and the concentrated state. It covers the fundamentals of colloid and interface science, placing emphasis on concentrated systems and the ideas associated with them. Takes a user-friendly, non-mathematical approachIncludes the widely used techniques such as rheology in greater depth than other introductory textsGives many practical examples of colloid and interface scienc
