Spasic (Institute for Technology of Nuclear and Other Mineral Raw Materials, Serbia) and Hsu (National Taiwan University) describe recent developments in the basic and applied science and engineering of finely dispersed particles and related systems. Integrating both coherence and decoherence theoretical approaches, the book takes an interdisciplinary approach to the elucidation of heat, mass, momentum, and electronic transfer phenomena at well-characterized interfaces. Hydrodynamic, electrodynamic, and thermodynamic instabilities at interfaces are described.
