Physical-Chemical Mechanics of Disperse Systems and Materials

This book, based on material used for lecture courses on physical¿chemical mechanics, is a comprehensive overview of physical¿chemical mechanics, a discipline that bridges solid-state physics and materials science. It investigates the complex physical¿chemical interfacial phenomena that occur during the transition of a dispersed system into a material and of the dispersal of a bulk material. It also devotes attention to the experimental methods used in physical¿chemical mechanics and the relevant instruments.
