Contents Notes
Introduction -- Experimental methods -- van der Waals forces -- Electrostatic double-layer forces -- Capillary forces -- Hydrodynamic forces -- Interfacial forces between fluid interfaces and across thin films -- Contact mechanics and adhesion -- Friction -- Solvation forces and non-DLVO forces in water -- Surface forces in polymer solutions and melts -- Solutions to exercises. 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.
