Preface
Numerous colloidal systems can be identified in nature. Many synthetic materials which are produced and processed are also colloidal systems. Such systems are always multiphasic and are mostly comprised of submicron particles or nanometer particles. The macroscopic properties of colloidal systems are governed by the microscopic interactions of its dispersed constituents with each other and with the surrounding dispersing medium. The properties of such particle systems are dominated by interfacial effects rather than volume effects because of their huge internal surface. The focus of Colloid Process Engineering is on the handling of colloidal systems in technical processes and about their manipulation by such processes. Many branches in this field may find numerous pathways to rewarding new products with tailor-made properties. The economic success in global competition for any producer is based on the ability to establish products on the market with
