Explores polymer behavior in solution, steric stabilization, surfactants, micelles, and colloids, including charged surface interaction and colloidal stability assessment.
Explores the formation and properties of micelles, the role of amphiphilic molecules in solubilizing fats, lyotropic liquid crystals, surface tension, and the Gibbs adsorption isotherm.
Introduces the basics of heterogeneous catalysis, focusing on catalyst types, surface reactivity, and the role of surface energy in catalytic processes.
