Reviews

"…does a great job introducing a lot of complex concepts in a very concise, dense, and clearly written way." (Polymer News) "...an excellent introduction...uses a that will appeal to many industrialists...certainly recommend the book..." (Chemistry & Industry, 19 April 2004) "...accessible and readable book...a significant achievement...good value for money..." (Chemistry World, May 2004) “…ideal for beginners to this specialised field who are in industry”. (Materials World, September 2004) “…both an introduction to the field and a bridge to the more specialized texts… summarized in an accessible fashion…” (Polymer International, Vol.53, No.11 November 2004) “I would definitely recommend this book to my students and to everyone who is interested in the fascinating science of colloids”.
