Paul C. Hiemenz, Raj Rajagopalan
"High praise from peers . . .contains valuable information on many
topics of interest to food rheologists and polymer scientists. .
..should be in the libraries of academic and industrial food
research organizations. "
---Journal of Texture Studies
". . .the treatment is unique. The most striking, perhaps, is the
introduction of short 'vignettes. . ..' which expand on the main
point being made in the text. This is a fine revision of a fine
book. Highly recommended. "
---Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology
". . .an excellent textbook, excellently organised, clearly written
and well laid out. "
---Chromatographia
"Controlled release scientists will find the book of major help in
solving problems related with diffusion, sedimentation, osmosis,
dispersion, colloidal suspensions, light scattering, surface
tension, double-layer theory, electronkinetic phenomena and
colloidal stability. . ..Recommended. "
---Journal of Controlled Release
