Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

This review focuses on the current knowledge regarding (i) the mechanisms governing
foamability and foam stability, and (ii) models for the foam column kinetics. Although different …

Surfactants form a unique class of chemical compounds. This review provides an
introduction to the nature and physical properties of surfactants, emphasizing their ability to …

Proteins and low molecular weight (LMW) surfactants are widely used for the physical
stabilisation of many emulsions and foam based food products. The formation and …

The aggregation of proteins is of fundamental relevance in a number of daily phenomena,
as important and diverse as blood coagulation, medical diseases, or cooking an egg in the …

Until now colloid science books have either been theoretical, or focused on specific types of
dispersion, or on specific applications. This then is the first book to provide an integrated …

The third edition of this besteller covers the latest advancements in this rapidly growing field.
Focusing on analyses and critical evaluation of the subject, this new edition reviews the …

Foams and emulsions are stabilized by surfactant monolayers that adsorb at the air–water
and oil–water interfaces, respectively. As a result of monolayer adsorption, the interfaces …

Soft microgel particles inherently possess qualities of both polymers as well as particles. We
review the similarities and differences between soft microgel particles and stiff colloids at …

The development of neutron reflectometry has transformed the study and understanding of
polymer/surfactant mixtures at the air/water interface. A critical assessment of the results …
