Applied Colloid and Surface Chemistry is a broad introduction to this interdisciplinary field, taking a genuinely applied approach, with applications drawn from a wide range of industries. Included within the text are keynote sections written by practicing industrial research scientists, bringing to the reader a wealth of real industrial examples. These examples range from water treatment through to soil management as well as examples taken from the coatings and photographic industries. To aid accessibility, some of the more demanding mathematical derivations are separated from the main text, enabling them to be avoided as required. The text has been written initially students, containing fully structured chapters, starting with learning objectives, and containing tutorial questions with answers and explanatory notes.
