Book review
Michel Nardin, Eugène Papirer (Eds.), Powders and Fibers: Interfacial Science and Applications, CRC Press,Boca Raton, FL, 2007, 660 pp.
This book will be of interest to readers concerned with theinterface science and applications of fine particles and fibers.
Chapter 1 summarizes thermodynamics of interfacial sys-tems with special reference to powders and fibers.
Section I of this book focuses on solid–gas interfaces. Chap-ters 2 and 3 describe measurement of interfacial properties byinverse gas chromatography.
Section II is directed toward solid–solid interfaces. Chapter4 describes probing of molecular aspects of solid surfaces bymeans of infrared spectroscopy. Chapter 5 describes chemicalcharacterization and surface modification of silica powders andfibers. Chapter 6 describes characterization of interfaces by useof magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Chapter 7 discusses thebehavior of vapor, liquid and polymeric materials confined atsolid–solid interfaces. Chapter 8 reviews applications of inter-face science in the textile industry.
Section III deals with solid–polymer interfaces. Chapter 9describes wettability of fibers and powders, with applicationto reinforced polymeric materials. Chapter 10 reviews the ap-

plication of flow microcalorimetry to the study of polymer ad-sorption at finely divided substrates. Chapter 11 summarizes theprinciples of various scanning probe microscopies, and their ap-plication to investigation of fibers.
Section IV, comprising Chapter 12, discusses biocompatibil-ity of powdered materials.
Section V emphasizes solid–liquid interfaces. Chapter 13describes solid–electrolyte interfaces. Chapter 14 reviews poly-mer dynamics at solid–liquid interfaces. Chapter 15 discussespyrogenic silica, with emphasis on the rheology of reactiveresin systems.
Section VI, comprising Chapter 16, reviews silicate glasssurfaces.
Included are about 1450 literature references and a subjectindex.
