• Sommario/riassunto: From blood to milk, pumice to gelatine, most scientists interact with colloids on a daily basis without any real knowledge of their nature. Building on the success of the first edition, Colloids and Interfaces with Surfactants and Polymers Second Edition is a user-friendly, non-technical introduction to colloids and interfaces. Includes:Many practical examples of colloid and interface scienceAn enhanced section on fluorescence microscopy, a widely used technique in biological systems for the optical imaging of cellular structuresA new section on phenomeno
