Topics on Diffusion in Emulsions (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789810217891)

This book describes some mathematical and physical aspects of emulsion behavior, starting from the fundamental theories of diffusion, Brownian movement and sedimentation of particles in a fluid (Chapters 1, 2 and 3 respectively). After a brief exposition of the basic concepts in discrete state space processes (Chapter 4), Chapter 5 shows some aspects of colloid aggregation phenomena presenting a new model to describe this process and uses the methods previously expounded. Chapters 6 and 7 discuss some of the most important data about the general and electrical properties of emulsions.The major emphasis is on the philosophy of stochastic process theory as a useful tool for the theoretical study of colloid and emulsion properties.
