Introduction to Molecular-Microsimulation for Colloidal Dispersions provides an introduction to molecular-microsimulation methods for colloidal dispersions and is suitable for both self-study and reference. It provides the reader with a systematic understanding of the theoretical background to simulation methods, together with a wide range of practical skills for developing computational programs. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter to further assist the understanding of the subjects addressed. - Provides the reader with the theoretical background to molecular-microsimulation methods - Suitable for both self-study and reference - Aids the reader in developing programs to meet their own requirements

This book presents the most important and main concepts of the molecular and microsimulation techniques. It enables readers to improve their skills in developing simulation programs by providing physical problems and sample simulation programs for them to use. - Provides tools to develop skills in developing simulations programs - Includes sample simulation programs for the reader to use - Appendix explains Fortran and C languages in simple terms to allow the non-expert to use them

The main objective of the book is to highlight the modeling of magnetic particles with different shapes and magnetic properties, to provide graduate students and young researchers information on the theoretical aspects and actual techniques for the treatment of magnetic particles in particle-based simulations. In simulation, we focus on the Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, Brownian dynamics, lattice Boltzmann and stochastic rotation dynamics (multi-particle collision dynamics) methods. The latter two simulation methods can simulate both the particle motion and the ambient flow field simultaneously. In general, specialized knowledge can only be obtained in an effective manner under the supervision of an expert. The present book is written to play such a role for readers who wish to develop the skill of modeling magnetic particles and develop a computer simulation program using their own ability. This book is therefore a self-learning book for graduate students and young researchers. Armed with this knowledge, readers are expected to be able to sufficiently enhance their skill for tackling any challenging problems they may encounter in future.

Diese Enzyklopädie konzentriert sich einzig und allein auf Biokolloide und Biogrenzflächen. Hauptthema sind nicht die wissenschaftlichen Aspekte rund um Kolloide und Grenzflächen. Mit Biokolloiden und Biogrenzflächen beschäftigen sich immer mehr Wissenschaftler, und in dieser Enzyklopädie werden zur Untersuchung von Phänomen in biologischen Systemen "weiche Partikel" und "weiche Grenzflächen" als Oberflächenmodelle herangezogen. - Beschreibt detailliert die grundlegenden Theorien und erläutert die physikalisch-chemischen und theoretischen Aspekte der Biokolloid- und Biogrenzflächenwissenschaft. - Beinhaltet auch eine ausführliche Beschreibung der weichen Grenzflächen und Oberflächen - Beschäftigt sich ebenfalls mit Anwendungen der Grundlagentheorien von Biokolloiden und Biogrenzflächen auf die Nano-, Bio- und Umweltwissenschaften. Ein nützliches Nachschlagewerk genau zur richtigen Zeit, für Forscher und Absolventen im Bereich der Biokolloid- und Biogrenzflächenwissenschaft sowie für Ingenieure der Fachrichtungen.

Nanocomposite Structures and Dispersions summarizes the fundamentals and mechanistic approaches in preparation and characterization of colloidal nanoparticles and dispersions, providing the readers a systematic and coherent picture of the field. The book serves as an introduction to the interesting field of nanoscience based on polymer and metal colloidal nanoparticles, and also presents the basic knowledge of polymer colloids preparation. It places a special emphasis on polymer, inorganic and metal nanomaterials classified as nanoparticles, nanocrystals, nanorods, nanotubes, nanobelts, etc. deals with the chemistry of the reaction approaches by which polymer and metal particles are synthesized. The book explores both organic (synthetic and natural) and inorganic materials, as well as their hybrids. It describes in detail terms, definitions, theories, experiments, and techniques dealing with synthesis of polymer and metal particles. It also discusses a variety of synthetic approaches including emulsion, miniemulsion and microemulsion approaches, homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation approaches under mild and high temperatures. There is also a chapter on modification and passivation of colloidal particles. This book would be of interest to chemical engineers, polymer chemists, organic chemists, colloid chemists, materials scientists and nanotechnologists. Although the text discusses nanoscience and nanotechnology from the viewpoint of a chemist, it would also appeal to those just entering the field and experts seeking information in other sub-fields. - Serves as a general introduction for those just entering the field and experts seeking information in other sub-fields - Variety of synthetic approaches is described including emulsion, miniemulsion and microemulsion approaches, hogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation approaches under mild and high temperatures - Focused on both the organic (synthetic and natural) and inorganic materials, and their hybrids

Interfacial Separation of Particles is concerned with the processing and separation of fine solid particles in liquid solutions using interfacial technology.Interfacial separation has been finding wide application in many industrial fields, such as pigment and filler production, mineral processing, environmental protection, hydrometallurgy, bioengineering, food and beverage industry and chemical industry. This book describes all interfacial separation techniques and discusses the general and specific fundamentals of the techniques.

This title is a greatly expanded and updated second edition of the original volume published by Elsevier in 1986. New material has been integrated with the original content in an organized and comprehensive manner. Five new chapters have been included, which review over one and a half decades of research into lipid-coated microbubbles (LCM) and their medical applications. The new chapters contain much experimental data, which is examined in detail, along with relevant current literature. This current edition builds on the original work in effectively filling the gap in the market for a comprehensive account of the surfactant stabilization of coated microbubbles. - Presents updated results from extensive multidisciplinary research on coated microbubbles - Greatly expanded and updated 2nd edition, with five new chapters - Fills the gap for a comprehensive and up-to-date account of subject matter
