Emphasizing the importance of surface and colloid chemistry in the manufacture of high-performance ceramics, this practical reference examines processing-property relationships, powder production and characterization, the dispersion properties of powders in liquids, the rheology of concentrated suspensions, and the surface and colloid chemistry aspects of the most widely used forming methods.
Generously referenced with more than 950 literature citations and over 125 helpful tables, drawings, and photographs.

Reviewing current methods for assessing surfactant-containing systems, this outstanding book brings together-in one, convenient source that provides a comprehensive overview of the field-scattered literature on the effective analysis of micellar solutions, solubilized systems, and microemulsions.

This new edition will make surfactant science even more accessible to you in your research efforts. After introducing the various structural types of commercial surfactants and their properties and applications, Rosen covers adsorption at interfaces and micellization using simplified physical chemical theory. There are extensive tables of data to show the effect of surfactant structure on properties and performance.
New to this edition is a chapter on molecular interactions and synergism in mixtures of surfactants which reflects Rosen's pioneering work in the lab. Problems have been added at the end of each chapter to allow testing of your understanding.

A detailed explanation of the chemical structures of ceramics and the resulting physical and chemical properties of different types of ceramics. The emphasis on the structure-property correlation aids understanding of traditional uses and new technologies involved in the ceramics industry.

A comprehensive compilation of chemistry data and information-including procedures, precautions, troubleshooting methods, and safety tips.
