It provides the essential conceptual and methodological tools to approach nano-research issues. The authors' expertise in colloid science will contribute to the understanding of basic issues involved in research. Each chapter covers a classical subject of colloid science, in simple and straightforward terms, and addresses its relevance to nanoscience before introducing case studies. Gathers in a single volume the information currently scattered across various sourcesStraightforward introduction of theoretical concepts and in-depth case studies help you understand molecular mechanisms and master advanced techniquesIncludes chapter on self-assembly as an alternative to nanostructured phasesIncludes examples showing applications of classical concepts to real-world cutting-edge research.0 aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (ScienceDirect, viewed Mar. 20, 2014).0 aFront Cover; Colloidal Foundations of Nanoscience; Copyright; Contents; Preface; Contributors; Chapter 1: Thermodynamics of (Nano)interfaces; 1.
