Excerpt from Surface Tension and Surface Energy and Their Influence on Chemical Phenomena
The present small book is based on a course of lectures delivered at the Sir John Cass Technical Institute by one of the authors, in response to the wishes of a number of students who had attended the course on colloids.
The object of the work is to give the student of chemistry an adequate idea of the fundamental laws of surface tension and surface energy while avoiding the purely mathematical exercises which occupy so much of the space devoted to the subject in textbooks of physics, and then to deal at some length with the relations between surface energy and such constants and phenomena as are likely to be of interest to the chemist and biologist. The mathematical treatment has been confined to what is absolutely essential, and generally the aim has been to give established facts or hypotheses which have proved their value rather than to apply them to special cases of limited interest. As our chief object has been to expose the physical principles involved, few experimental details have been given except for the most recent investigations.
It is hoped that the book may prove useful to those engaged in the study of chemistry, and more particularly of colloidal chemistry, either from its biological or from its purely chemical aspect.
