This first modern approach to relate fundamental research to the applied science of colloids bridges academic research and industrial applications, thus providing the information vital to both. Written by the very top scientists in their respective disciplines, the volumes in this series are edited by an internationally recognized expert on this topic. This final volume describes the role of colloids and interface science in paints, making it indispensable reading for those working in the dyes and pigments and paints and coatings industries, pigment, surface and physical chemists, as well as materials scientists and chemical engineers.
