Great introduction to foam research, 09 Jul 2001
I am a researcher in the field of foam and froth physics and this book has become required reading for any new student in our group. It provides an excellent introduction to the physics of foam systems, from the goemetry and topology (where Denis Weaire and Robert Phelan have proven that one of Lord Kelvin's conjectures on the minimum eneryg structure of foam was wrong) to the fluid dynamics and rheology of foams.

Whether your interest in physics is quite casual or unrelated to foams, this book provides a good and very readable foundation in what is a surprisingly complex and fascinating field of study.

An excellent book, 14 Jun 2007
A must for all undergrauates of chemistry and materials science. Broad contents summary: 1) gas adsorption 2) spectroscopic techniques for probing surfacs 3) worked examples and problems.

Professor Attard is a much liked lecturer at Cardiff and his clarity is also portrayed in this very readable book. The book contains a lot of information and is suitable for surface science studies throughout the UG course. It is invaluable to 3/4th year students.

excellent and detailed approach to polymer physics, 10 Oct 2003
This book is excellent for someone wanting an introduction to polymer science and at the same time have a level of detail generally not found in other books on this topic. It is strongly recommended as an introduction to polymer physics, especially because it covers a lot of important issues in a easy-to-understand, but rigorous fashion.
