Professor Brian Vincent is a leading light in colloid science both in the UK and internationally. The science Brian has been involved in has influenced many areas of colloids both academically and industrially. He has collaborated with many sectors of industry (including pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, agrochemicals, personal products, laundry products, paints and coatings). Brian has also been an active member of both the RSC and the SCI and has collaborated with many universities in the UK and overseas.

Produktbeschreibung
Professor Brian Vincent is a leading light in colloid science both in the UK and internationally. The science Brian has been involved in has influenced many areas of colloids both academically and industrially. He has collaborated with many sectors of industry (including pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, agrochemicals, personal products, laundry products, paints and coatings). Brian has also been an active member of both the RSC and the SCI and has collaborated with many universities in the UK and overseas. This unique book is effectively a compendium of Brian's research, complemented by contributions on current topics in colloids by some of the leading scientists in the field. It provides an overview of the broad spectrum of colloid and interface science in which Brian has been a research pioneer for many years. The authors are all collaborators and/or former students of Brian, and are of international standing in colloid science and as such make this book an invaluable reference tool. The book backs up a meeting organised jointly by the RSC Colloid and Interface Science Group and the SCI Colloid & Surface Science Group and covers topics such as: -The Adsorption of Small, Negative Particles onto Large Positive Particles -Polymer Chemistry, Hypervelocity Physics and the CASSINI Space Mission -The BV Droplets Downunder: From Model Emulsions to Drug Delivery -Polymers and Surfactants at Interfaces -Controlled Release as Desorption from Porous Polymeric Systems -Characterisation and Application of Colloidal Micorogels -Surface Modification However, the book is not just reflective, but provides insight into new areas in which colloid science is being applied. It has specific appeal to colloid scientists in academia and industry who will find this book both fascinating and inspirational as well as an indispensable reference tool.

Autorenporträt
Peter J Dowding, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, is Principal Scientist at Infineum UK Limited an Exxon & Shell joint venture. He is leader for all background and fundamental studies of colloidal additives for future generations of additives used in lubricants and his research interests include: Surfactant Stabilised Nanoparticles, Steric Stabilisation, Surfactancy, Controlled Release, Supercritical Fluids and Properties of Asphaltenes. Terence Cosgrove is Professor at the School of Chemistry, University of Bristol. Simon Biggs is Professor of Particle Science and Engineering, Institute for Particle Science and Engineering, The University of Leeds and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, a member of the American Chemical Society, the International Association of Colloid and Interface Scientists, and the Royal Australian Chemical Society. His main research interests are in the field of colloid and interface science and he is recognised as a pioneer in the application of atomic force microscopy to the study of colloid and particle science. A significant number of his published papers were the first of their kind in the open literature - especially the work on the influence of polymers and surfactants on inter-particle forces.
