Colloid stability; the role of surface forces, pt.1.9783527314621 Colloid colloid (kŏl`oid) [Gr.,=gluelike], a mixture in which one substance is divided into minute particles (called colloidal particles) and dispersed throughout a second substance. stability; the role of surface forces, pt.1. Ed. by Tharwat F. Tadros. Wiley-VCH 2007 417 pages $175.00 Hardcover Colloids and interface science series; v.1 QD549 The series will present review studies on the role of colloid and interface science in various fields, the first two volumes focusing on aspects of colloid stability with special reference to the role of surface forces. Researchers in chemistry, biology, chemical engineering, pharmaceuticals, and geography consider such topics as the analytical approximation of electrostatic interactions between colloidal particles, hydrophobic hydrophobic /hy·dro·pho·bic/ (-fo´bik) 1. pertaining to hydrophobia (rabies). 2. not readily absorbing water, or being adversely affected by water. 3. attraction in light of thin-film thermodynamics thermodynamics, branch of science concerned with the nature of heat and its conversion to mechanical, electric, and chemical energy. Historically, it grew out of efforts to construct more efficient heat engines—devices for extracting useful work from expanding , nano-particles in confined structures, and phospholipid phospholipid (fŏs'fōlĭp`ĭd), lipid that in its simplest form is composed of glycerol bonded to two fatty acids and a phosphate group. foam films.
