Emulsion Science
This book gives an overview of the most recent advances in emulsion science, from the preparation to the destruction of these materials. This book is intended for a large audience, from undergraduate students to senior scientists. A progressive and didactic approach is proposed for that purpose. The concepts presented should provide a useful guidance for formulating and controlling the lifetime of emulsion at laboratory and industrial scales. For easy comprehension, the text is illustrated by more than 70 figures. This book is a new edition of the one published in the series "Springer Tracts in Modern Physics (vol. 181)". The main difference is a more didactic approach which will allow the non-specialist reader to capture the essential concepts. We shall also incorporate the very last research results (solid-stabilized emulsions, metastability) and novel applications (Biotechnology).
Emulsion Science
Emulsions occur either as end products or during the processing of products in a huge range of areas including the food, agrochemical, pharmaceuticals, paints and oil industries. As end products, emulsions allow to avoid organic solvent in processing hydrophobic coatings. Emulsion technology is a suitable approach to vehicle viscous phases. It is also a remarkable mean of targeting actives or capturing specific species. The range of applications of emulsions progresses and their manufacturing becomes more and more sophisticated. Besides this broad domain of technological interest, emulsions are raising a variety of fundamental questions at the frontier between physic and chem istry. Indeed, ...
The Lab
The Lab explains the idea of the “culture lab,” Edwards’ concept for experimental art and design centers like those he recently founded in Paris and at Harvard. He presents the lab as a new kind of educational art studio based on a contemporary science lab model, and he shows how students learn by translating ideas alongside experienced creators by exhibiting risky experimental processes in gallery settings.
Essentials of Soft Matter Science
Authored by world-leading physicists, this introductory textbook explores the basic principles of polymers, colloids, liquid crystals, wetting, and foams. It is a practical ‘toolbox’ for readers to acquire basic knowledge in the field and facilitate further reading and advanced courses. Undergraduate students in physics, biology, and the medical sciences will learn the basics of soft matter physics, in addition to scaling approaches in the spirit of the Nobel prize laureate in physics in 1991, Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, the inventor of soft matter physics and close collaborator to author Françoise Brochard-Wyart. Features: Accessible and compact approach Contains exercises to enhance understanding All chapters are followed by a short 1-2 page "insert chapter" which serve as illustrations with concrete examples from everyday life (e.g. the Paris Metro, a zebrafish, a gecko, duck feathers etc.)
Handbook of Lipid Membranes
This handbook provides a unique overview of lipid membrane fundamentals and applications. The fascinating world of lipids that harbor and govern so many biological functionalities are discussed within the context of membrane structures, interactions, and shape evolution. Beyond the fundamentals in lipid science, this handbook focuses on how scientists are building bioinspired biomimetic systems for applications in medicine, cosmetics, and nanotechnology. Key Features: Includes experimental and theoretical overviews on the role of lipids, with or without associated biomolecules, as structural components imparting distinct membrane shapes and intermembrane interactions Covers the mechanisms of...
Manifeste du Laboratoire (Le)
« Les laboratoires sont des lieux de recherche, d’expérimentation et de découverte. C’est l’innovation et la création qui fondent leur existence et commandent leur devenir. Ils sont socialement utiles ; ils sont aussi un condensé des expériences humaines. L’espoir y règne tout comme la chance, la rigueur comme l’invention, le besoin de convaincre comme le défi de créer », écrit David Edwards. Voici l’histoire de celui qu’il a fondé, où les créateurs et la société utilisent le langage de la culture pour dialoguer et trouver un nouveau tremplin d’innovation. Rapprochant la démarche d’artistes et celle de scientifiques, sous l’égide de ce qu’il appelle...
Demain, la physique
« Ce livre est le récit de quelques-unes des incertitudes de la physique d’aujourd’hui en devenir, avec l’ambition de montrer que les questions posées sont l’effet d’une logique interne qui nous a conduits immanquablement là où nous sommes. Il nous a semblé qu’il était possible de raconter en mots, sans équations ni long investissement préalable dans la lecture d’ouvrages difficiles, les interrogations auxquelles sont confrontés les physiciens de notre temps. Le monde qui nous entoure est bien présent dans ces pages puisque la physique n’est que confrontation entre concepts et réalité. Rien ne permet de penser que le bouleversement de nos modes de vie dû à l...
