On completion of this course each student is expected to:
- Understand the experimental and characterization techniques for interfacial properties and for colloidal systems
- Understand the concept of interfacial tension and work associated with interface formation
- Be able to describe physical phenomena related to surface tension and capillarity
- Be able to describe self-association surfactants
- Understand the forces acting at interfaces and be able to describe the effects of these forces on emulsions and colloids
