Using the n-butylammonium vermiculite system as his model clay system, the author clarifies the flaws of conventional theories and presents the experimental details that form the basis of his new theories. He provides rigorous derivations that place the new electrical theory for charged colloids on a firm foundation in statistical mechanics. The author illustrates why a new, quantitative bridging flocculation model for polymer-stabilized colloids must replace the depletion flocculation model. Smalley also examines the discovery of the \"dressed macroion\" structure of clay plates in solution, the structure of a bridging polymer, and the distribution of polymer segments, counterions, and water molecules in the interlayer region. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on the author's own research and 36 publications in the field, \u003cb\u003eClay Swelling and Colloid Stability \u003c\/b\u003eisa self-contained and intellectually satisfying account of the revolutionary process leading to a universally sound, and increasingly applicable, theory of colloid stability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45240146493591,"sku":"9780367453749","price":5683.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367453749.webp?v=1769224676","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/clay-swelling-and-colloid-stability-9780367453749","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
