Colloid chemistry, organic science

It was Bancroft s opinion that to justify its existence, the division must produce results which could not be obtained otherwise, and that the best way to accomplish this was to select projects on the "borderlands" between chemistry and one or more of the other sciences (45). In accordance with this policy the majority of committees organized in the 1920s concerned these borderlands. One of the first to be formed was the committee on the chemistry of colloids, and in 1921 Bancroft published a list of 200 research projects in colloid chemistry for which volunteers were sought by the National Research Council (46). This committee published numerous monographs and arranged symposia on colloid chemistry, and was therefore influential in the establishment of an area of research within physical chemistry with large industrial importance. 

Another branch of science that emerged over the last decades on the borderline between colloid and organic chemistry is the supramolecular...

Following a career as a research scientist with the Wheat Research Unit (later the Grain Quality Research Laboratory) of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) of Australia, Finlay MacRitchie was a professor in the Department of Grain Science and Industry at Kansas State University (1997-2009). He is currently professor emeritus in this department. MacRitchie has worked in two main fields fundamental surface and colloid chemistry and cereal chemistry He has published more than 150 papers in refereed journals and a textbook, Chemistry at Interfaces (Academic Press, 1990). He is listed as an Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) highly cited researcher. 

This book s coverage of scientific and practical developments in the field, both past and present, will be invaluable to scientists and product innovators in physical, surface, colloid, surfactant, polymer, rubber, organic, inorganic, industrial, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and textile chemistry materials science and polymer engineering. 

Pan Ming Huang received his Ph.D. degree in soil science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in 1966. He is Professor Emeritus of Soil Science at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada. His research work has significantly advanced the frontiers of knowledge on the formation chemistry and nature and surface reactivity of mineral colloids, organic matter, and organomineral complexes... 

It is a pleasure to express our gratitude to the divisional organizers, K. A. Mauritz (Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering), R. D. Lundberg (Rubber), W. J. MacKnight (Polymer Chemistry), D. A. Brant (Cellulose, Paper and Textile Chemistry), and C. Thies (Colloid and Surface Chemistry). Special thanks go to Rajagopalan Murali for his most valuable assistance in the editing of this volume.

Today the science that they helped create is common knowledge to scientists and even many non scientists. This prompted Prof. Robert B. Dean to write that nearly everything we see is colloidal. The common molecules of inorganic chemistry and the common small molecules of organic chemistry are molecules of substances which are rarely encountered in a pure state in everyday life. When you get up in the morning you wash with colloidal soap, pout on your colloidal clothes, read a colloidal newspaper while eating a colloidal breakfast. The house you... 

In the mid twenties several circumstances permitted a revised orientation of both content and style of areas of research at the Central Research Laboratory. In 1925 the Technical Committee (TEA) of I.G. Farben discussed the possibilities for producing artificial fibres. At this time, I.G. Farben was the second largest producer of artificial fibres in Germany. Therefore polymer chemistry became more important for the company at the same time as dyestuffs chemistry lost its former position. However, the science of synthetic, semi-synthetic and natural polymers was not yet established in the same way as structural chemistry was for organic dyestuffs, pharmaceuticals, and intermediates. Colloid chemists regarded substances such as cellulose, silk, and wool as...
