About the editor:<br> <br> "Dr. Tadros is a very well recognized individual in the surface chemistry community and is known to write well."<br> (Prof. Krister Holmberg, Chalmers University, Goteborg, Sweden)<br> <br> "The author is a well-known scientist in this field with a long experience in colloid science."<br> (Henkel KGaA, Dusseldorf, Germany)<br> <br> "Dr. Tadros is well-known in the field of colloid science. High quality can be expected."<br> (University of Bayreuth, Germany)<br> <br> "Professor Tadros is a well-known expert on the topic. Because of his industrial experience it might be possible to close the gap between fundamentals and the relevance and applications in the practice."<br> (Dr. Oetter, BASF AG, Ludwigshafen, Germany)<br> <br> "Dr. Tadros is a well-known scientist in emulsion and rheology science who can write about fundamentals and applications of surfactants."<br> (Yokohama National University, Japan)

After finishing his PhD at Alexandria University, Tharwat Tadros was appointed lecturer in Physical Chemistry (1962-1966) at the same University. Between 1966 and 1969, he spent a sabbatical at the Agricultural University of Wageningen and T.N.O in Delft, the Netherlands. Thereafter he worked at I.C.I. and ZENECA until 1994, where he researched various fields of surfactants, emulsions, suspensions, microemulsions, wetting spreading and adhesion, and rheology. During that period he was also appointed visiting professor at Imperial College London, Bristol University and Reading University. In 1992, he was elected President of the International Association of Colloid and Interface Science. Since leaving ZENECA, Dr Tadros has worked as a consultant for various industries and also given several courses in his specialized field. He is the recipient of two medals from the Royal Society of Chemistry in the UK, and has more than 250 scientific papers to his name.

As materials with particle sizes on the nanoscale displaying new or improved properties, colloids play many versatile roles. They may have different colors depending on the current size, carry coatings with functions such as antigens for protein recognition, influence the morphology or durability of composites they are part of, serve as tiny containers for drugs, or as nanoreactors in which chemical reactions are conducted. Due to this diversity, colloidal chemistry involves a great number of disciplines, including chemistry, physics, materials sciences, and biology.<br> Highlighting recent developments as well as future challenges, this series of volumes covers such topics as emulsions, nano-emulsions, nano-dispersions and novel techniques for their investigation. <br> From the contents of this volume:<br> * Stabilization of Emulsions, Nano-Emulsions and Multiple Emulsions Using Polyfructose<br> * Enhancement of Stabilization and Performance of Personal Care Formulations Using Polymeric Surfactants<br> * Effect of an External Force Field on Self-Ordering of Three-Phase Cellular Fluids in Two Dimensions<br> * Physical Chemistry and Sensory Properties of Cosmetic Emulsions<br> * Nanoparticle Preparation by Miniemulsion Polymerization<br> * Monodisperse Emulsions Using Straight-Through Microchannel Array Devices<br> * Isotropic and Anisotropic Metal Nanoparticles Prepared by Inverse Microemulsion<br> * Preparation of Nanoemulsions by Spontaneous Emulsification and Stabilization with Poly(Caprolactone)-B-Poly(ethylene Oxide) Block Copolymers<br> * Synthesis of Waterborne Acrylic/Clay Nanocomposites<br> For surface, physical and polymer chemists, materials scientists, and chemical engineers.<br>
