This book provides an introduction to the colloid and interface science of three of

the most common types of colloidal dispersion: emulsions, foams, and suspen-
sions. The initial emphasis covers basic concepts important to the understanding

of most kinds of colloidal dispersions, not just emulsions, foams, and suspen-
sions, and is aimed at providing the necessary framework for understanding the

applications. The treatment is integrated; for each major physical property class
the principles of colloid and interface science common to each dispersion type are
presented first, followed as needed by separate treatments of features unique to
emulsions, foams, or suspensions. The second half of the book provides examples
of the applications of colloid science, again in the context of emulsions, foams,
and suspensions, and includes attention to practical processes and problems in
various industrial settings.
