Opis

Theory of the Stability of Lyophobic Colloids: The Interaction of Sol Particles Having an Electric Double Layer is a classic scientific monograph in English that presents a theoretical foundation for understanding why lyophobic (i.e., solvent-repelling) colloidal dispersions remain stable or coagulate, focusing on the electrostatic interactions between colloidal particles surrounded by electric double layers and how these interactions balance attractive forces such as van der Waals attraction to determine stability. The book systematically develops the physics of the electric double layer, charge distribution, free energy and interaction potentials between particles, and explains how these principles influence the behaviour of colloidal sols in electrolyte solutions, forming a cornerstone of what later became known as DLVO theory in colloid science.
