Structure and Functional Properties of Colloidal Systems

Integrating fundamental research with the technical applications of this rapidly evolving field, this volume clearly presents the connections between structure and functional aspects in colloid and interface science. It describes techniques to functionalize colloids, characterization methods, the physical fundamentals of structure formation, diffusion dynamics, transport properties in equilibrium, the physical fundamentals of nonequilibrium systems, the measuring principles to exploit properties in applications, and the differences in designing lab experiments and devices. The book also provides examples of novel functional colloids, including metallic nanoparticles, micro- and nanogels, and GDLCs devices.
