Sommario/riassunto

Volume 4 of the Handbook of Colloid and Interface Science is a survey into the applications of colloids in a variety of fields, based on theories presented in Volumes 1 and 2. The Handbook provides a complete understanding of how colloids and interfaces can be applied in



materials science, chemical engineering, and colloidal science. It is ideally suited as reference work for research scientists, universities, and industries.
