      Those that can, teach.

      Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared

       to give up every preconceived notion, follow

      humbly wherever and to whatever abysses nature

       leads, or you shall learn nothing.

       Thomas Henry Huxley (1860)

      Preface

      The first edition of this book was written following several years of teaching this material to third year undergraduate and honours students in the Department of Chemistry at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia. Science students are increasingly interested in the application of their studies to the real world, and colloid and surface chemistry is an area which offers many opportunities to apply learned understanding to everyday and industrial examples. There is a lack of resource materials with this focus, and so we produced the first edition with many industrial examples.

      This second edition extends this to include several more recent and topical industrial innovations. It is still intended to take chemistry or physics students with no background in the area to the level where they are able to understand many natural phenomena and industrial processes and are able to consider potential areas of new research. It involves the study of the interaction between solids, liquids and gases and their application to numerous everyday processes.
