Colloid chemistry

Zeolites and related microporous materials are used in oil processing and in the fine and petrochemical industries on a large scale.

An amphiphile is a molecule that contains a hydrophilic part and a hydrophobic part, linked by covalent bonding.

This book addresses new challenges in soft matter and colloids.

Wormlike micelles are elongated flexible self-assembled structures created from the aggregation of amphiphiles and their resulting dynamic networks have gained attention for a number of uses, particularly in the oil industry.

Pharmaceutical chemistry (PC) represents a dynamic field of research that plays a pivotal role in the development of life-saving pharmaceuticals.

Magnetically responsive soft matter is a colloidal model system where interparticle interactions can be tuned through external magnetic fields.

Dynamic soft materials that have the ability to expand and contract, change stiffness, self-heal or dissolve in response to environmental changes, are of great interest in applications ranging from biosensing and drug delivery to soft robotics and tissue engineering.

Providing a vital link between chemistry and physics on the nanoscale, this book offers concise coverage of the entire topic in five major sections, beginning with synthesis of microgel particles and continuing with their physical properties.

The breadth and depth of knowledge of gums and stabilisers has increased tremendously over the last two decades, with researchers in industry and academia collaborating to accelerate the growth.

This self-contained handbook and ready reference examines aerosol science and technology in depth, providing a detailed insight into this progressive field.

This book focuses on the use of nanoemulsion in enhanced oil recovery, along with a brief information about the emulsion and its types and different physico-chemical properties used to analyse the efficiency of the emulsions and nanoemulsions.

Hydrogels are made from a three-dimensional network of cross linked hydrophilic polymers or colloidal particles that contain a large fraction of water.

This book gives a complete overview of current developments on the green synthesis and extraction of nano-emulsions for numerous uses in food, agriculture, biomedical, and cosmetics sectors.

Since its introduction in 1971, the development and application of colloidal gold as a marker in electron microscopy has been phenomenal.

Interface and colloid science is an important, though often under-valued, branch of science.

A slow and consistent study of the approaches for drug design can help the foundation for a good scientific intuition.

This book highlights the fabrication of orientation-controlled colloidal quantum well (nanoplatelet) thin films using liquid interface self-assembly.

Formulation Product Technology focuses on materials chemistry and introduces industrial manufacturing technologies for different product types.

This book presents (1) a tour through the complex and mesmerizing world of molecular interactions without recourse to complicated theoretical derivations and (2) an attempt to close the existing academia-industry knowledge and expertise gap by providing a pathway to convert complex theories into real products that would be of use to industry and also enhance the quality of life.

Dieses umfangreiche Chemie Buch bietet eine strukturierte Einführung in die wichtigsten Bereiche der Chemie und eignet sich sowohl für Studienanfänger als auch fortgeschrittene Lernende.
