Objectives:
The course aims to provide basic knowledge of surface- and colloid chemistry from a physical-chemical perspective.
Content:
The course contains a thorough description of interfacial phenomenon in which the central themes are surface tension, interfacial tension, adsorption, capillarity, wetting, contact angle and electrostatic characteristics of the interfaces. Colloidal systems are thoroughly described and mechanism for colloidal stability and interactions between colloidal particles are reviewed. Furthermore, the course deals with structure and characteristics of the self-associated amphiphilic molecules, so-called surfactants.
