Polymers in Particulate Systems
Properties and Applications
edited by Vincent A. Hackley
P. Somasundaran
and Jennifer A. Lewis

Contains a model displaying the effect of soluble nonadsorbing polyelectrolytes on stability!

Based in part on papers presented at the Polymers in Particulate Systems international symposium held recently in St. Louis, Missouri, this state-of-the-art reference presents the latest research on the flow and structure of complex particulate suspensions, the adsorption behavior of polymers, and the consolidation behavior and mechanical properties of films—highlighting recent advances in polymer functionality, conformation, and chemistry for biological, biomedical, and industrial applications.

Examines the influence of colloidal stability and polymer interactions on the shear and compressional flow performance of concentrated dispersions!

From coupling agents used in dental restoration to biomineralization processes and novel polymer-ceramic nanocomposites, Polymers in Particulate Systems details

  • the adsorption of polymers on complex oxide and non-oxide surfaces
  • modern uses for key additives in applications such as advanced ceramics, mineral separations, high-performance cement, and bioceramic coatings and composites
  • the behavior of soluble polymers in bioceramic systems
  • polyelectrolytes as dispersants, flocculants, binders, superplasticizers, and thickeners
  • criteria for the selection of polymeric additives for specific manufacturing techniques
With contributions from world-renowned experts in the field, Polymers in Particulate Systems is an essential source for physical, surface, colloid, inorganic, organic, polymer, medicinal, and analytical chemists and biochemists; chemical engineers; ceramicists; materials scientists; biophysicists; biotechnologists; biomaterials specialists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
