Summary
The science of surface and colloid chemistry has been expanding at a rapid pace, resulting in new areas of development, additional applications, and more theoretical and experimental information on related systems. Completely revised and expanded to reflect the very active worldwide research on this subject, this is the definitive handbook for the chemistry of surface and colloidal systems.
With contributions from a team of international experts, the Handbook of Surface and Colloid Chemistry, Second Edition brings you up-to-date on the most recent developments in this area, with extensive coverage of a range of research subjects. The scope of the second edition includes such topics as interfacial film structures for thin-film formation and emulsion formation; contact angle and adsorption studies to characterize solid surfaces; the impact of the scanning tunneling microscope and the atomic force microscope; and more. The theoretical basis of colloids and their stability is thoroughly described, which will be sure to lead to more fascinating developments.
This new edition of the Handbook of Surface and Colloid Chemistry retains the outstanding organization of its bestselling predecessor, while augmenting the text with new research and developments in the field. It continues to provide authoritative information in a format that provides a valuable resource for planning your future research.

Editorial Reviews
"The second edition of the handbook brings the reader the most recent developments in surface and colloid chemistry. … The theoretical basis of colloids and their stability is thoroughly described. … [T]his handbook with extensive data in the form of tables and figures is very helpful … ."
- Colloid and Polymer Science, 2004
"Each chapter in this book is authored by an expert in a relevant branch of surface or colloid chemistry. The scope of the book includes interfacial film structures for this film formation and emulsion formation, contact angle and adsorption studies to characterize solid surfaces and the impact of scanning tunneling microscope and atomic force microscope on surface science… should be useful as a first source of reference to those with an interest in these areas."
- Basis Volume Limited, 2003
"…represents a well-written and well-organized volume… each chapter effectively presents the fundamental physical chemistry that underlies the topic at hand as well as the current status of research in the area… no other compilation or general textbook contains the wide array of information presented here… the writing is excellent throughout and the illustrations and graphs are in most cases very good…many of the chapters are of extremely high quality and by themselves offer excellent reference material for the established researcher or the beginning graduate student."
-L. Andrew Lyon, Georgia Institute of Technology, Journal of American Chemical Society, Vol. 125, No. 28, 2003
