Of course this approach inevitably leads teaching aid, and I am certain many of my colleagues to some overlap and repetition in different chapters, but and universities (particularly at post-graduate level), but that does not necessarily matter. Fortunately, the editor also to an activity more and more of us in the field has not taken a "hard-line" on this. This arrangement are becoming involved in, namely presenting various should be extremely useful to the reader (even if it aspects of surface and colloid science to industrialists, at makes the book look longer), since one does not have a specialist schools, workshops, awareness forums, etc. to search around in different chapters for various bits of I believe that Krister Holmberg was the ideal choice related information.
