The interaction forces acting between colloidal particles in suspensions play an important
part in determining the properties of a variety of materials, the behaviour of a range of …

Low salinity waterflooding (LSW) has been proved to be a promising technique in improving
oil recovery for both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. Sandstone and carbonate are two …

THE forces between colloidal particles dominate the behaviour of a great variety of
materials, including paints, paper, soil, clays and (in some circumstances) cells. Here we …

The attractive interaction between organic nonpolar molecules, such as hydrocarbons, in
water is unusually strong. This 'hydrophobic interaction'1 is responsible for the very low …

The mechanisms of electrophoretic deposition (EPD) are discussed and their shortcomings
identified. The kinetics of the processes involved are analyzed for constant‐current and …

A general introduction to surface and interfacial forces, perfectly combining theoretical
concepts, experimental techniques and practical applications. In this completely updated …

Keeping pace with explosive developments in the field, Colloidal Science of Flotation
reviews and updates the fundamentals of the bubble-particle collection phenomenon using …

The very low sliding friction at natural synovial joints, which have friction coefficients of μ<
0.002 at pressures up to 5 megapascals or more, has to date not been attained in any …

The classical Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory of colloids, and
corresponding theories of electrolytes, are unable to explain ion specific forces between …
