Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Polymer chemistry; Colloid chemistry

Series: Surface and Colloid Science

Taking a critical approach toward novel colloid systems and

phenomena, this series provides both the historical development and a

digest of recent advances. The current volume focuses on solutions

containing surfactants and polymers, with special emphasis on micelle

formation and microemulsions.
