Surface And Interfacial Forces From Fundamentals To Applications

© Springer-Verlag 2008 rd 43 Biennial Meeting of the German Colloid Society rd This volume containsselected paperspresented at the 43 Biennial Meeting of the German Colloid Society held at the Schloß Waldthausen near Mainz, October 8–10, 2007. The meeting’s emphasis was given to “Surface and Interfacial Forces – From Fundamentals to Applications” but also provided a general overview on current aspects of colloid and polymer science in fundamental research and applications. The contributions in this volume are representative of the richness of research topics in colloid and polymer science. They cover a broad eld including the application of scanning probe techniques to colloid and interface science, surface induced ordering, novel developments in amphiphilic systems as well as the synthesis and applications of nano-colloids. The meeting brought together people from different elds of colloid, polymer, and materials science and provided the platform for dialogue between scientists from universities, industry, and research institutions.

This systematic introduction to the topic includes theoretical concepts to help readers understand and predict surface forces, while also integrating experimental techniques and practical applications with up-to-date examples plus motivating exercises. Starting with intermolecular forces, the authors discuss different surfaces forces, with a major part devoted to surface forces between solid surfaces in liquid media. In addition, they cover surface forces between liquid-vapor interfaces and between liquid-liquid interfaces.

Eine in sich geschlossene, umfassende Einführung in die Grundlagen der Grenzflächenphänomene und ihrer Anwendung auf Prozesse und Produktdesign - geschrieben für Ingenieure aus Chemie, Elektronik und Biomedizin. Zwischenmolekulare Wechselwirkungen an der Grenzfläche werden ausführlich behandelt; Eigenschaften, Verarbeitung und Verhalten fluider Grenzflächen werden ebenso diskutiert wie Ober- und Grenzflächenmerkmale fester Stoffe. Dieses Buch ist relevant für den Praktiker in der Industrie, stellt aber gleichzeitig eine wertvolle Hilfe für Lehrkräfte ingenieurwissenschaftlicher Fachrichtungen bei der Ausbildungsplanung dar.

A general introduction to surface and interfacial forces, perfectly combining theoretical concepts, experimental techniques and practical applications. In this completely updated edition all the chapters have been thoroughly revised and extended to cover new developments and approaches with around 15% new content. A large part of the book is devoted to surface forces between solid surfaces in liquid media, and while a basic knowledge of colloid and interface science is helpful, it is not essential since all important concepts are explained and the theoretical concepts can be understood with an intermediate knowledge of mathematics. A number of exercises with solutions and the end-of-chapter summaries of the most important equations, facts and phenomena serve as additional tools to strengthen the acquired knowledge and allow for self-study. The result is a readily accessible text that helps to foster an understanding of the intricacies of this highly relevant topic.

"Introduces typical problems associated with particle-particle, particle-surface, and surface-surface interactions, concentrating on solid phases dispersed in a liquid phase. Features a systematic presentation of the physical and mathematical models established over the last 50 years. Written to foster an understanding of how theoretical analyses are conducted in practical situations."
