This book provides an introduction to clay mineralogy and common minerals in general, and a summary of modern colloid chemistry. It presents most of the data generated on the surface properties of clays and other mineral particles, in the decade from 1988 to 1998.

Focusing on Lifshitz-Van der Waals, Lewis acid-base, and electrical double layer interactions, this title discusses measuring the surface properties of flat or particulate solids with contact angles of drops of high-energy liquids deposited on solid surfaces or via the thin-layer wicking technique.
