5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Textbook, August 19, 1998
By A Customer
This is an excellent textbook for both undergraduate courses (for which it is intended) and for first-year graduate courses. The new edition contains new material on recent developments in colloid science and instrumental techniques, polymer-induced forces, rheology of dispersions and scattering techniques. The many 'Vignettes' included in this edition bring out the interdisciplinary nature of the subject, its impact in medical and biological sciences as well as in numerous engineering areas, and the exciting aspects of colloid science that are not highlighted in other textbooks. There are numerous worked-out examples, review questions at the end of each chapter and annotated references. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book!, October 13, 1999
By A Customer
This is an excellent, first-level introduction to colloids and is better than any others available in the market. The vignettes in the book alone are worth the price! Suitable for self-study!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to surface and interfacial phenome, August 31, 2000
By Socrates Acevedo (Carrizal, Edo. Miranda Venezuela) - See all my reviews
As a teacher of these topics I found this book an excellent one.A very good coverage of fundamentals such as surface and interfacial tension,intermolecular and colloidal interactions, colloidal stability, liophobic and liophylic colloids,electrokinetics phenomena. All these complex topics and more are treated in a very clear and rigorous way. I strongly reccomend this book.
