Description: There have been many articles and some books written on various aspects of polymer colloids, emulsion polymerization, latex technology, and related applications. These are based in turn on a voluminous literature in scientific journals and patents. As a result, the scientist entering this academically and commercially important field, may well be bewildered as to where to start.

Polymer Colloids: A Comprehensive Introduction employs a holistic approach to a complex field concentrating on solid development of the fundamentals. The reader is provided with a rich source of figures and references, especially those deemed to represent significant benchmark or fundamental turning points in the development of the science and technology of polymer colloids. Primarily written for the researchers entering the field, the book provides an excellent introduction for graduate students.

Some of the latest advances covered in this volume include: biomedical applications such as cancer chemotherapy and DNA probes, mesoscale of crystalline systems, the rheology of complex fields, small angle neutron scattering (SANS) for particle structures, and photothermal nanosecond light-switching devices.
