Preface
This book is about the freezing of colloids, and more generally the interactions of objects with a moving solidification interface, a phenomena encountered in a variety of natural and technological processes. From growth of sea ice to the making of ice cream, or the solidification of particle-reinforced alloys, all these phenomena share common features. The objects can be of various natures: solid (particles), liquid (in the case of emulsions), or gas. These phenomena can be investigated, described, understood, and eventually controlled using three categories of parameters: the behaviour of the objects (can they move? will they be deformed? do their dimensions evolve? may the objects coalesce?), the behaviour
