Optical Rheometry of Complex Fluids

"Fuller's new text....is a wonderful addition to the literature....written in a "user-friendly" style....every student, optical physicist interested in the areas of polymer liquids and colloidal dispersions, and chemical engineer intereted in optical measurements should own a copy of this book." --Optics & Photonics News"Highly recommended for any researchers in the chemical sciences who have an interest in this type of optical technique for characterizing microstructure in complex liquids....This presentation of such a wide range of techniques, unified by a common mathematical formalism, cannot be found in any other recent reference....[T]his monograph evinces Fuller's leadership in optical rheology and should be consulted by anyone who has a serious interest in eithertheoretical or practical aspects of this area." --Journal of the American Chemical Society"Fuller's new text....is a wonderful addition to the literature....written in a "user-friendly" style....every student, optical physicist interested in the areas of polymer liquids and colloidal dispersions, and chemical engineer intereted in optical measurements should own a copy of this book." --Optics & Photonics News"Highly recommended for any researchers in the chemical sciences who have an interest in this type of optical technique for characterizing microstructure in complex liquids....This presentation of such a wide range of techniques, unified by a common mathematical formalism, cannot be found in any other recent reference....[T]his monograph evinces Fuller's leadership in optical rheology and should be consulted by anyone who has a serious interest in eithertheoretical or practical aspects of this area." --Journal of the American Chemical Society
