Thermal Behavior of Dispersed Systems
Summary
"Discusses the most recent advances in the correlations of structure and reactivity relationships of micelles, liposomes, microemulsions, and emulsions by thermal behavior measurements, as well as the options, scope, and limitations of the thermal behavior of dispersed systems. Highlights current studies on heterogeneous colloidal (dispersed) systems."
