Series: Surfactant Science
In the formulation, processing, and applications of dispersions and composites, a good understanding of the physical properties is required. A number of books are available on the physical properties of dispersions and composites, but they are restricted to rheological and mechanical properties of dispersed systems. This book addresses the electromagnetic (dielectric, electrical, and magnetic), thermal, and mass transport properties of dispersed systems, which have received little attention even though these properties are equally important from a practical point of view.

University of Connecticut, Storrs, USA
Imperial College, London, UK
This volume provides a framework for understanding the subject that goes beyond mere memorization. Using several techniques to develop a relational understanding, this text helps students fully grasp the concepts at the root of organic chemistry. Chapters contain checklists of what students need to know before they begin to study a topic and concepts to be fully understood before moving to the next subject area, homework problems directly tied to each concept, embedded problems with answers throughout the material, and experimental details and mechanisms for key reactions.
This textbook classifies organic chemistry according to mechanism rather than classification of functional groups, with the intention of having readers understand by means of problem solving. The emphasis is on the development of skills through a studentcentered pedagogical approach. The inclusion of chromatography, spectroscopy, and spectrometry early in the book is an important concept. The book contains the customary chapters on biomolecules, but also presents chapters on industrially important processes and their economics, and environmental chemistry, areas in which every twenty-first-century-educated scientist should have familiarity.

Daniel Radu The principles and methods of analytical mechanics are very efficient for investigating not only mechanics but also in areas such as field theory, plasma physics, and quantum mechanics. This text presents a short theoretical description of these subjects, followed by solved problems. The authors thoroughly discuss solutions to the problems by taking a comprehensive approach to explore the methods of investigation. They carefully perform the calculations step by step, graphically displaying some solutions via Mathematica® 4.0.
Perturbation theory forms an important basis for predicting the thermodynamic characteristics of real fluids and solids. This book provides a comprehensive review of current perturbation theories—as well as integral equation theories and density functional theories—for the equilibrium thermodynamic and structural properties of classical systems. Emphasizing practical applications, the book avoids complex theoretical derivations as much as possible. Appropriate for experienced researchers as well as postgraduate students, the text presents a wide-ranging yet detailed view and provides a useful guide to the application of the theories described.
