Synopsis

The ability to thoroughly characterize polymer colloids has long been a cornerstone of their use in fundamental work. New techniques such as dielectric spectroscopy and neutron scattering are becoming increasingly important.
The contents of this book reflect the wide interest in the field of polymer colloids with chapters covering the preparation and properties of conducting particles, as well as composite particles and swellable particles. Many other materials such as proteins, polymers, polyelectrolytes, and surfactants interact strongly with the surface of polymer latex particles and new work on these aspects is covered, along with recent developments in the use of lattices.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The field of polymer colloids is a particularly fertile one with interest changing from natural latex to a wide variety of synthethic latices reflecting the use of these materials in an increasingly large number of novel applications.

This timely book examines polymer colloids with chapters ranging from the preparation and properties of conducting particles, to composite and swellable particles. The latest research concerning proteins, polymers, polyelectrolytes and surfactants which interact strongly with the surface of polymer latex particles is presented, along with recent developments in the use of latices.
