Short description This book deals with the recent developments in the synthesis, modification, utilization and application of colloids. The types covered range from metal nanoparticles through to inorganic particles and polymer latexes. Strategies for their modification to impart new properties are outlined and ordered assemblies derived from colloid particles and some applications for colloids are shown.
