Polymer-Mediated Phase Stability of Colloids

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

  • 242 Accesses

Abstract

In this introduction, we shortly revise the fundamentals of colloidal phase behaviour and set the aim and structure of this thesis. Some emphasis is given to the parts in which this thesis is divided: spherical colloids, anisotropic colloids, and association colloids. Methods that are common to more than one chapter are also presented here to avoid repetition of information through this thesis.

All models are wrong, but some are useful.
