The book also contains experimental results and methods, analytical theory and computer simulations. While the work concentrates on problems of basic science, such practical applications as pharmacology are not excluded.
This is because the inter-aggregate interaction is often long-ranged since it is coulombic in nature and the interparticle correlations are thus appreciable.
This volume presents recent advances in drug and nucleic-acid delivery, rheological control to facilitate oil thickening, stability of emulsions, formation of hydrogels, stability of latex dispersions, topical creams, food emulsifiers, ...
This volume originated in a happy event honoring Arthur Schawlow on his 65th birthday. As a research physicist, Schawlow has been a major infiuence on the present nature of physics and of high technology.
