Inhaltsangabe

This book provides an introduction to colloid science, based on the application of the principles of physical chemistry. Early chapters assume only an elementary knowledge of physical chemistry and provide the basis for more thorough discussion in later chapters covering specific aspects of colloid science. The widespread occurrence of colloids is stressed and the more important industrial applications of colloid technology are outlined. The final chapter deals with the future of colloid science and indicates the directions in which further developments are likely to take place. The book is ideal for undergraduate courses and, supplemented by further reading, for postgraduates too. It will also be useful to industrial research workers who wish to become familiar with the basic ideas and their many important applications to industry.

CHAPTER 1

What are Colloids?

To some the word 'colloidal' conjures up visions of things indefinite in shape, indefinite in chemical composition and physical properties, fickle in chemical deportment, things infilterable and generally unmanageable.

Hedges, 1931

INTRODUCTION

The above remarks reflect the impression created by many textbooks of physical chemistry – if they deign to mention colloids at all. In fact, in both its experimental and theoretical aspects, and no less important in its technological applications and in the appreciation of its biological implications, colloid science has made impressive progress in the last few decades. In the following chapters an attempt is made to summarise the basic concepts of colloid science and to dispel some of the doubts expressed in the above quotation.

A full understanding of the properties of colloids calls upon a wide range of physical and chemical ideas, while the multitude of colloidal systems presented to us in nature, and familiar in modern society, exhibit a daunting complexity. It is this that has delayed the development of colloid science, since a detailed and fundamental theoretical understanding of colloidal behaviour is possible only through a thorough knowledge of broad areas of physics, chemistry, and mathematical physics, together in many instances with an understanding of biological structures and processes. On the experimental side there is an ever-increasing emphasis on the application of modern physical techniques to colloidal problems. Colloid science is thus a truly interdisciplinary subject.

Nevertheless, despite the sophistication needed for the development of a complete quantitative theory of colloids, the basic principles that underlie many colloid problems can be seen as extensions to such systems of the fundamental concepts of physical chemistry. One important objective of this book is to emphasise the close link between colloid science and physical chemistry and to show how a broad understanding can be built up on a few relatively simple physico-chemical ideas. We shall not only seek common features revealed by experimental study but also, of much greater significance, try to identify the fundamental concepts that link together many apparently unconnected aspects of the...
