Dispersion of Powders in Liquids and Stabilization of Suspensions: TADROS:DISPERSION POWDERS O-BK

Teaching the fundamental knowledge required for successful dispersion of powders in a liquid, this book covers a host of topics — from recent advances to industrial applications. In 15 chapters it supports formulation chemists in preparing a suspension in a more rational way, by applying the principles of colloid and interface science, while at the same time enabling the research scientist to discover new methods for preparing stable suspensions. Essential reading for those working in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, paint, ceramic and agricultural industries. Content: Chapter 1 General Introduction (pages 1–16): Chapter 2 Fundamentals of Wetting and Spreading (pages 17–29): Chapter 3 The Critical Surface Tension of Wetting and the Role of Surfactants in Powder Wetting (pages 31–47): Chapter 4 Structure of the Solid–Liquid Interface and Electrostatic Stabilization (pages 49–62): Chapter 5 Electrokinetic Phenomena and Zeta Potential (pages 63–83): Chapter 6 General Classification of Dispersing Agents and Adsorption of Surfactants at the Solid/Liquid Interface (pages 85–105): Chapter 7 Adsorption and Conformation of Polymeric Surfactants at the Solid–Liquid Interface (pages 107–129): Chapter 8 Stabilization and Destabilization of Suspensions Using Polymeric Surfactants and the Theory of Steric Stabilization (pages 131–149): Chapter 9 Properties of Concentrated Suspensions (pages 151–169): Chapter 10 Sedimentation of Suspensions and Prevention of Formation of Dilatant Sediments (pages 171–192): Chapter 11 Characterization of Suspensions and Assessment of Their Stability (pages 193–217): Chapter 12 Rheological Techniques for Assessment of Stability of Suspensions (pages 219–241): Chapter 13 Rheology of Concentrated Suspensions (pages 243–270): "Teaching the fundamental knowledge required for successful dispersion of powders in a liquid, this book covers a host of topics -- from recent advances to industrial applications.
