Colloids and the Depletion Interaction by Henk Nw Lekkerkerker

There does not yet exist any other book with a similar scope..... The readability of this book is furthermore enhanced by a list of symbols, and index of keywords, and last not least by a large number of figures, including many pedagogic sketches which were specifically prepared for this book.

“Each chapter contains many and up-to-date references, but in the initial sections of the chapters, exercises are suggested which will help the interested reader to recapitulate the main points of the treatment and to deepen his understanding of the subject… suitable also for advanced teaching purposes, useful for courses which deal with the physics of soft condensed matter. There does not yet exist any other book with a similar scope. … useful for students and related applied sciences alike.” (Kurt Binder, The European Physical Journal E, Vol. 38, 2015)

Henk N.W. Lekkerkerker (1946) studied chemistry at Utrecht University (The Netherlands) and obtained his doctorate at the University of Calgary (Canada) in 1971. He then moved to Brussels initially as a postdoctoral fellow at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium) and subsequently became a Professor of Theoretical Physical Chemistry at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. From 1985 till present he is a Professor of Physical Chemistry at the Van ‘t Hoff laboratory, Utrecht University  and since 2006 he is also  Academy Professor of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. He received the Bakhuys Roozeboom Gold Medal, the Onsager Medal and the Liquid Matter Prize for his work on phase behavior of colloidal dispersions.

Remco Tuinier (1971) studied food science at Wageningen University (The Netherlands) and performed his PhD work at the NIZO food research institute and Wageningen University on colloid-polymer mixtures. Subsequently, he worked as Postdoctoral fellow at Utrecht University and in 2001 became a staff member at the Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany. From 2008-2015 he worked at DSM Research, Geleen, The Netherlands as Senior and Principal Scientist Colloids & Interfaces. Since 2013 he is part-time professor at Utrecht University. In 2015 he became full professor of physical chemistry at Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands.
