Preface
The editor and the authors welcome you to the Encyclopedia of Colloid and Surface Science, whether you are a student encountering colloid and interface science for the first time, a senior scientist desiring to become more familiar with surfaces, or a specialist browsing for new results, ideas and insights. Interface science, including colloid chemistry, is an area of rapid progress that is important for its fundamental significance and its practical applicability. This Encyclopedia draws together the interface-related aspects of the fields of chemistry, materials sciences and engineering, biology, physics, computer sciences and applied mathematics. Over the years, the scope of interface science has broadened beyond the limits of any single discipline to include a wide range of endeavors in which chemical behavior at the boundaries of matter is synthesized, characterized, described theoretically, modified, and applied for practical purposes. Natural interfaces of this genre are essential to all living systems, while synthetic interfaces play important roles in regard to catalysis, foods, filtration, lubrication, mineral processing, paints, pharmaceuticals, polymers, soaps, soils, and in a host of other areas. It is a fact that each year more than 100,000 publications are added to the literature covered by this Encyclopedia. Accordingly, we endeavor to communicate the essence of this important area, to define its terminology, explain its concepts, point to the key references, identify important applications, tutor, elucidate, analyze, and suggest directions for future work. The authors of the Encyclopedia are distinguished contributors to their specialized fields of endeavor, and we hope that you will find the writing to be especially stimulating, lucid and informative, as a result.
