Foreword
The Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) was established on 17th December,
1931 by a great visionary Professor Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis to pro-
mote research in the theory and applications of statistics as a new scientific
discipline in India. In 1959, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Min-
ister of India introduced the ISI Act in parliament and designated it as an
Institution of National Importance because of its remarkable achievements
in statistical work as well as its contribution to economic planning.
Today, the Indian Statistical Institute occupies a prestigious position
in the academic firmament. It has been a haven for bright and talented
academics working in a number of disciplines. Its research faculty has done
India proud in the arenas of Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Computer
Science, among others. Over eighty years, it has grown into a massive
banyan tree, like the institute emblem. The Institute now serves the na-
tion as a unified and monolithic organization from different places, namely
Kolkata, the headquarters, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai and Tezpur four cen-
ters, a network of five SQC-OR Units located at Mumbai, Pune, Baroda,
Hyderabad and Coimbatore, and a branch (field station) at Giridih.
The platinum jubilee celebrations of ISI have been launched by Hon-
orable Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on December 24, 2006, and
the Government of India has declared 29th June as the “Statistics Day” to
commemorate the birthday of Professor Mahalanobis nationally.
ProfessorMahalanobis, was a great believer in interdisciplinary research,
because he thought that this will promote the development of not only
Statistics, but also the other natural and social sciences. To promote in-
terdisciplinary research, major strides were made in the areas of computer
science, statistical quality control, economics, biological and social sciences,
physical and earth sciences.
The Institute’s motto of ‘unity in diversity’ has been the guiding prin-
ciple of all its activities since its inception. It highlights the unifying role
of statistics in relation to various scientific activities.

Preface
Colloid and surface science is a fascinating interdisciplinary field in sci-
ence, where modern development and knowledge of physics, chemistry, bi-
ology, material science, pharmacy, engineering etc. have been extensively
exploited and adopted, with ample scope of fundamental research and ex-
tensive potentials for applications. The progress of research in this impor-
tant field has been remarkable throughout the world during the last four
decades, and it has developed for the benefit of the society and people all
over the world. This volume contains extended version of some articles
presented at International Symposium on Recent Trends in Surface and
Colloid Science (ISSCS), in addition to the contributions made by some of
the members of the International Advisory Committee of this International
Symposium. With a summary of recent advances in this multifaceted field,
the chapters of this volume provide critical information to enrich the liter-
ature by presenting the basic concepts of organized systems in relation to
their practical significance. It would be a potential addition to the litera-
ture and also should be of interest to beginners as well as experts working
in the field of colloid and surface science.
In the first chapter, Kunz and Bostrom have proposed an efficient but
physically well-based modified DLVO theory considering specific ion effects
around water profiles near colloidal surfaces and molecular dynamics sim-
ulation. The new appraoch is expected to be useful to explain specific
ion adsorption on electrode surfaces. In the second chapter, electrokinetic
theories in suspensions of soft particles (particle surfaces containing ion-
penetrable polyelectrolyte layers) have been critically reviewed by Ohshima.
In the reviewing process, electrokinetic phenomena viz., electrophoresis,
electroosmosis, streaming potential and sedimentation potential have been
summarized. In the subsequent chapter, phase diagram analysis of an evap-
orating emulsion comprising water, linalool and a commercial surfactant,
Laureuth 4 has been presented by Friberg and Aikens. Based on an equi-
librium between the vapor and emulsion, variations in the fractions of com-

pounds and phases have been determined. The process has been found to
be influenced by the relative humidity. In Chapter 4, Thaker, Sengupta
and Sengupta discussed on the stability of an emulsion system containing
NaOH with aging. The presence of NaOH has been found to influence both
viscosity and salinity of the system. Increased internal phase volume has
affected the viscosity but not the emulsion salinity. Aging has influenced
the droplet size distribution. In Chapter 5, the work of Moulik and Mitra
entails enthalpy of micellization determined by van’t Hoff procedure and by
direct calorimetry on a number of ionic and nonionic surfactant systems.
The results do not agree, the discripencies are more for ionic systems than
nonionics. This anomaly arises because of the basic differences between
the two evaluation methods; while the van’t Hoff procedure is a differen-
tial approach, the calorimetry is an integral approach. The first method
evaluates only the enthalpy of micellization whereas the second measures
the total heat produced in the system, micellization or otherwise. In the
next chapter, the salt free binary cataionic system of hexadecyltrimethy-
lammonium octylsulfonate has evidenced a miscibility gap for the formal
lamellar phase, as presented by Silva, Marques and Olsson. Coexistance
of a swollen and a collapsed lamellar phase has been observed in a two-
phase region with linear swelling in each phase. Increase of temperature
has caused a vesicle-to-micelle transition of the system. A theoretical cell
model has been proposed to provide insight to the observed miscibility gap
in the system. In Chapter 7, Miller and coworkers have proposed models for
quantitative analysis of the adsorption layer formed from mixed solutions
comprising proteins and surfactants for understanding the hydrodynamics,
adsorption kinetics and dilational rheology. The procedure used was drop
shape analysis using a capillary pressure tensiometer. The findings are
encouraging and needs analysis by way of improved theories and better ex-
perimentations. Factors that affect mixed aggregation of surfactants have
been summarized by Schulz in Chapter 8. The interaction parameter, β in
regular solution theory has been separated into βph (interaction between
polar head groups) and βcore (interaction of amphiphile tails in the micellar
core); thus β = βph + βcore. The role of various factors like differences in
chain lengths, steric constraints, presence of double bond on the β has been
also discussed. In Chapter 9 Chanda, Singh and Ismail have focused on the
micellization of the surfactant AOT in the presence of both sodium chloride
(NaCl) and sodium salicylate (NaSl). The counter-ion binding in 0.02 mol
dm−3 NaCl has been found to increase two fold which did not occur in the
presence of NaSl. It is considered that at 0.02 mol dm−3 NaCl both the

aggregation number and micellar polarity of AOT suddenly change. The
shape of the micelle has also been expected to change. In the subsequent
chapter, the results on clouding and solubilization of the amphiphilic drug,
promazine hydrochloride in presence of additives, viz., alkanols, sugars and
amino acids have been presented by Kabir-Ud-Din and coworkers. The re-
sults have been analyzed in the light of drug aggregation and modification
of the physico-chemistry of the medium by the additive effects. The in-
fluence of the amide urea on surfactant self-assembly in solution has been
reviewed by Souza, Alvarez and Politi in Chapter 11. An attempt has been
made to rationalize this effect in the light of electrostatic interaction as well
as hydrophobic repulsion wherein the increase in the dielectric permittivity
by urea has a role to play. In Chapter 12, Romsted presented a model for
the role of ion-pair formation at the micellar interface by way of counter-
ion binding in the sphere-to-rod transition of ionic micelles and potentially
other structural transitions of different types of association colloids. The
merits and demerits of the model has been presented in view of its future
applications. The review article of Xenakis (Chapter 13) describes uses
of microemulsions and related systems to immobilize lipase and causing
favourable catalytic esterification of fatty acids. The catalytic activity of
lipase remains effective when the external organic solvent is replaced by
supercritical CO2. The stability of lipase and its reusuability have been
assessed and presented. The review article of Gupta comprises an overview
of different types of nanoscale colloidal drug delivery systems in Chapter
14. The advantages and disadvantages of these systems have been high-
lighted with relevant examples. Nanoscale self-assemly of gelatin molecules
and clusters spread on hydrophilic surface has been discussed by Bohi-
dar and Gupta using AFM technique in Chapter 15. The nano-structured
assemblies formed compact fractal objects resulting from a diffusion lim-
ited aggregation process. Koetz and coworkers have reported on water
soluble polymers which can modify w/o microemulsions and used as tem-
plates for the synthesis of nanoparticles. The system poly (diallydimethyl
ammonium chloride, PDADMAC) incorporated into inverse microemulsion
(water / toluene / heptanol / sulfobetaine) droplets can be successfully used
as template for the formation of spherical BaSO4 nanoparticles in Chapter
16. Addition of nonionic polymer, polythylene glycol in water / toluene /
SDS / polyampholytes, can produce nanorods of BaSO4 in the template.
Uptake of nickel oxide in water / AOT / isoctane w/o microemulsion has
been discussed by Nassar and Husein in Chapter 17. Nanoparticle uptake
increased with increasing AOT and precusor salt concentration. Maximum

uptake occured at water to AOT mole ratio, R = 3.0. The particle size
increased with increasing [AOT] and [precursor salt] due to intermicellar
nucleation and growth. Synthesis and size dependent photocatalytic be-
havior of luminescent semiconductor quantum dots, viz., CdS and CdTe
have been presented and discussed in Chapter 18 by Saha and coworkers.
The methods of preparation and catalytic efficacies of the materials have
been presented with physicochemical justifications. Possible development
of fluorescence-based nonoparticle sensors has been discussed. The arti-
cle of Das, Sarkar and Chattopadhyay deals with a fluorometric strategy
to enhance the efficiency of a quencnching-based cationic fluorosensor for
Cu2+ by several order of magnitude in Chapter 19. This strategy is con-
sidered to be applicable for physiochemical fluids for detecting trace metal
ions like Cu2+. According to Mejuto and coworkers, the nanodroplets in
microemulsion can act as scalable microreactors in which synthesis of mate-
rials and dynamics of reactions, can be studied (Chapter 20). This chapter
deals with pseudophase approach to study the transnitrosation reactions
in microemulsion media. The role of interface between water and oil has
been proposed to be vital. In Chapter 21, Sinha and Tarafdar have focused
on the introduction of electric field for the formation of gel of synthetic
clay, laponite. Rapid gel formation at the anode has been observed, which
is slow in the absence of the electric field. The structure and properties
of these gels are reported to be different in the two conditions. The final
chapter by (Nandi) Ganguly and coworkers describes molecular association
(dimerization etc.) of cinnamic acid molecules that exists in the crystalline
form by intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Positron annihilation spectro-
scopic and DSC studies with varying temperature, have been conducted to
understand the changes in the molecular structure in the crystalline phase.
