This book is a practical reference for those working with the stabilization and the destabilization of fine solid dispersions. Omitting any unchanged chapters from the first edition, the new edition features only chapters that are completely updated, rewritten, and expanded upon to reflect a decade of the latest advances in the field. New material includes: electrical double layer, surface ionization, and surface heterogeneity; thin liquid films; clay mineral intracrystalline reactions and gelation; homopolymers and their effect on colloid stability; the stability of suspensions in the presence of surfactants, polymers, and mixtures; and the flocculation and dewatering of fine-particle suspensions.
