The Critical Point A Historical Introduction To The Modern Theory Of Critical Phenomena

The Critical Point A Historical Introduction To The Modern Theory Of Critical Phenomena

The relationship between liquids and gases engaged the attention of a number of distinguished scientists in the mid 19th Century. In a definitive paper published in 1869 Thomas Andrews described experiments he performed on carbon dioxide and from which he concluded that a critical temperature exists below which liquids and gases are distinct phases of matter but above which they merge into a single fluid phase. During the years which followed other natural phenomena were discovered to which the same critical point description can be applied - such as ferromagnetism and solutions. This book provides an historical account of theoretical explanations of critical phenomena which ultimately led to a major triumph of statistical mechanics in the 20th Century - with the award of the Nobel Prize for Physics | The Critical Point A Historical Introduction To The Modern Theory Of Critical Phenomena

Fiber-Reinforced Cements and Concretes

Fiber-Reinforced Cements and Concretes

The concept of reinforcing brittle materials like cement paste mortar or concrete with fibers has been known since ancient times. For example baked clay reinforced with straw was used to build mud huts and mortars for masonry were reinforced with animal hair. The wide variety of fiber types available in the 20th century has led to the development of a specialization in modern concrete technology based upon creating composites incorporating one or more types of fiber into the matrix of cement paste mortar or concrete. This book summarizes and simplifies the results of a considerable body of research and practical experience with a wide range of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites. This information will prove invaluable to engineers architects concrete contractors and others working in design construction or product manufacture who may be unfamiliar with this technology. | Fiber-Reinforced Cements and Concretes

Microemulsions: Structure and Dynamics

Microemulsions: Structure and Dynamics

This book describes the microemulsion phenomenon in a systematic manner and not only provides an up-to-date introduction to this topic but aslo serves as the basis for further development in the area. The progress of microemulsion research has taken place in well-defined stages. The introduction period was founded on Schulman‘s original discovery and was as expected focused on the interfacial free energy. Because Schulman obtained his microemulsions from a macroemulsion by the addition of a cosurfactant. The present stage is characterized by an extensively enhanced knowledge about structure and dynamics in these systems. This has led to the realization that the structure of the microemulsions is related both to solutions with critical behaviour and long range order structures the lyotropic liquid crystals. These two aspects have been elucidated independently by the French groups and by the Lund Spectroscopy group. | Microemulsions: Structure and Dynamics
