Summary
Summary
The first modern approach to relate fundamental research to the applied science of colloids, these six volumes are edited by the 'l'eminence grise' on the topic with contributions from THE top scientists in their respective fields.
The first two volumes cover the role of surface forces, while the third looks at colloid stability and its application in pharmacy. Volume 4 deals with applications in personal care and cosmetics, while the last two volumes cover colloids in agrochemicals and in paints and coatings.
An invaluable reference for surface, physical and polymer chemists, materials scientists, and chemical engineers.
Author Notes
After finishing his PhD at Alexandria University, Tharwat Tadros was appointed lecturer in Physical Chemistry (1962-1966) at the same University. Between 1966 and 1969, he spent a sabbatical at the Agricultural University of Wageningen and T.N.O in Delft, the Netherlands. Thereafter he worked at I.C.I. and ZENECA until 1994, where he researched various fields of surfactants, emulsions, suspensions, microemulsions, wetting spreading and adhesion, and rheology. During that period he was also appointed visiting professor at Imperial College London, Bristol University and Reading University. In 1992, he was elected President of the International Association of Colloid and Interface Science. Since leaving ZENECA, Dr Tadros has worked as a consultant for various industries and also given several courses in his specialized field. He is the recipient of two medals from the Royal Society of Chemistry in the UK, and has more than 250 scientific papers to his name.
