Summary: | "A Century of Innovation in Colloid and Interface Science. Progress in colloid and surface science over the past 100 years has enabled a sweeping range of technology developments in energy, environment, agriculture, food, personal care products, and medicine. This book, celebrating 100 years of Colloid Symposia, presents a sampling of current research within this interdisciplinary field. Topics include colloidal interactions; self-assembly; liquid crystals; foam films; metal nanoparticles; polymer interfaces; colloidal phenomena in foods; antimicrobial peptides; nanoparticles for medical imaging; and contaminants' detection, to name just a few. One Hundred Years of Colloid Symposia is essential reading for academic and industrial scientists who encounter colloidal structures, nanoparticles, and interface phenomena in their work."--
