A variety of internal forces both attractive and repulsive act in conjunction with Brownian motion and the balance between them all decides the phase behaviour. On top of this various external fields, such as gravity or electromagnetic fields, diffusion and non-Newtonian rheology produce complex effects, each of which is of important scientific and technological interest. The authors aim to impart a sound, quantitative understanding based on fundamental theory and experiments with well-characterised model systems. This broad grasp of the fundamentals lends insight and helps to develop the intuitive sense needed to isolate essential features of the technological problems and design critical experiments. The main prerequisites for understanding the book are basic fluid mechanics, statistical mechanics and electromagnetism, though self contained reviews of each subject are provided at appropriate points. Some facility with differential equations is also necessary. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter, making the work suitable as a textbook for graduate courses in chemical engineering or applied mathematics. It will also be useful as a reference for individuals in academia or industry undertaking research in colloid science.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSurvey of colloidal dispersion\u003cbr\u003e Hydrodynamics\u003cbr\u003e Brownian motion\u003cbr\u003e Electrostatics\u003cbr\u003e Dispersion forces\u003cbr\u003e Forces due to a soluble polymer\u003cbr\u003e Electrokinetic phenomena\u003cbr\u003e Polymeric stabilization\u003cbr\u003e Equilibrium phase behaviour\u003cbr\u003e Particle capture\u003cbr\u003e Sedimentation\u003cbr\u003e Diffusion\u003cbr\u003e Rheology.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Mathematical modelling [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Mathematical modelling\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Mathematical%20modelling%20%5BPBWH%5D%22\"\u003ePBWH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46004777484568,"sku":"9780521426008","price":83.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521426008i_a94da621-9708-4884-8a21-d318dc6d5513.jpg?v=1691381651","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/colloidal-dispersions-paperback-9780521426008","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
