Particles of colloidal size (nano scale) have received growing interest because of the many versatile roles they can play in our lives - the better we understand how they function, the more we can use them to our advantage. This book is a compilation of invited review articles authored by some of the most well-known scientists in the field which covers the latest developments and achievements in colloid and interface science. It is also a dedication to one of the most famous scientists in the field of colloid science - Professor Tharwart Tadros - and most of contributors have worked beside this brilliant man at some pint in their career. Some of the topics discussed are: colloid (nano) particles surfactant solutions wetting phenomena thin liquid films colloidal liquids emulsions papermaking delivery agents This book is targeted not just at chemists and material scientists, but anyone involved in a variety of industries where colloid science has a major impact on their lives.
