                                                This is an elective course for students who are interested in expanding their basic knowledge in surface and colloid chemistry. The course will familiarize the students with the fundamentals of surface and colloid chemistry, adsorption isotherms and the application of interfacial phenomena to technologies reliant upon colloid and surface science such as in environmental remediation, detergency, biological systems, food, and agriculture. Attempting to better understand these technologies gives the impetus to investigate the underlying theories, principles and methods of surface and colloid, and chemistry. Upon completion, students should be able to develop and apply knowledge in describing processes related to interfacial phenomena.<\/p>\n
