An introduction to dynamics of colloids

Dhont, Jan K. G.

An introduction to dynamics of colloids [electronic resource] / Jan K.G. Dhont. - Amsterdam, Netherlands ; New York : Elsevier, 1996. - 1 online resource (xvii, 642 p.) : ill. - Studies in interface science ; vol. 2 . - Studies in interface science ; v. 2. .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Brownian motion of non-interacting particles -- Light scattering -- Fundamental equations of motion -- Hydrodynamics -- Diffusion -- Sedimentation -- Critical phenomena -- Phase separation kinetics.

One of the few textbooks in the field, this volume deals with several aspects of the dynamics of colloids. A self-contained treatise, it fills the gap between research literature and existing books for graduate students and researchers. For readers with a background in chemistry, the first chapter contains a section on frequently used mathematical techniques, as well as statistical mechanics. Some of the topics covered include: & bull; diffusion of free particles on the basis of the Langevin equation & bull;the separation of time, length and angular scales; & bull; the fundamental Fokker-Planck and Smoluchowski equations derived for interacting particles & bull; friction of spheres and rods, and hydrodynamic interaction of spheres (including three body interactions) & bull; diffusion, sedimentation, critical phenomena and phase separation kinetics & bull; experimental light scattering results. For universities and research departments in industry this textbook makes vital reading.
