Colloids and the Depletion Interaction / / by Henk N.W. Lekkerkerker, Remco Tuinier, Mark Vis.

This open access book provides a detailed exploration of the phase behaviour of, and interfacial properties in, complex colloidal mixtures (e.g., clay, milk, blood). Insights into colloids have been at the heart of many innovations in different industries. The big question underlying these innovatio...
