Diese Reihe beleuchtet neue Entwicklungen und Zukunftschancen auf Gebieten wie Emulsionen, Nanoemulsionen und Nanodispersionen. Besprochen werden außerdem Aspekte wie Wirkstofftransport, kontrollierte Freisetzung und weitere interessante Anwendungen der Nanotechnologie.
As materials with particle sizes on the nanoscale displaying new or improved properties, colloids play many versatile roles. They may have different colors depending on the current size, carry coatings with functions such as antigens for protein recognition, influence the morphology or durability of composites they are part of, serve as tiny containers for drugs, or as nanoreactors in which chemical reactions are conducted. Due to this diversity, colloidal chemistry involves a great number of disciplines, including chemistry, physics, materials sciences, and biology.
Highlighting recent developments as well as future challenges, this series of volumes covers such topics as emulsions, nano-emulsions, nano-dispersions and novel techniques for their investigation.
