Inhaltsangabe

Every scientific or technological field that is in an active state of research and development also has an actively growing vocabulary. Colloid and interface science is no exception. Many scientific disciplines are involved in the study of colloids and interfaces, each discipline bringing elements of its own special language. This dictionary provides brief explanations for the most important terms that may be encountered in a study of the fundamental principles, experimental investigations, and industrial applications of colloid and interface science. Current and older terms are included, and special attention is given to older terms that once had quite different meanings. Cross-references for the more important synonyms, abbreviations, and acronyms are given. The book presents useful tables of similar terms, acronyms having related but different meanings, and useful predictive equations for physical properties. Finally, a selection of references to books and journal articles is included. This book will be an essential source for scientists and engineers involved in any aspect of colloid and interface science. It is also suitable for students and for researchers who wish to move into, or just learn parts of, the field.
