Colloidal and Interfacial Phenomena

Catalog description

Description: This course surveys applications and fundamental aspects of colloidal and interfacial phenomena, industrial applications include pharmaceuticals, energy, agriculture, and food/beverage, and will explore systems such as surfactants, polymers, emulsions, dispersions, foams, and particles at interfaces. The course includes explorations of emulsion stability mechanisms, interparticle interactions, surfactant behavior, and interfacial stability mechanisms. Experimental techniques used to characterize these systems such as interfacial tenslometry and dispersion sizing will be discussed. May not be used for degree credit with CHE 5533 .
