PREFACE The roots of this book go back twenty years. In the early 1980's Philip Goetz, then President of Pen Kem, Inc., was looking for new ways to characterize ~-potential, especially in concentrated suspensions. His scientific consultants, Bruce Marlow, Hemant Pendse and David Fairhurst, pointed towards utilizing electroacoustic phenomena. Several years of effort resulted in the first commercial electroacoustic instrument for colloids, the PenKem-7000. In the course of their work they learned much about the potential value of ultrasound and collected a large number of papers published over the last two centuries on the use of ultrasound as a technique to characterize a diverse variety of colloids. From this it became clear that electroacoustics was only a small part of an enormous new field. Unfortunately, by that time Pen Kem's scientific group broke apart; Bruce Marlow died, David Fairhurst turned back to design his own electrophoretic instruments, and Hemant Pendse concentrated his efforts on the industrial on-line application of ultrasound. In order to fill the vacuum of scientific support, Philip Goetz invited me to the US motivated by my experience and links to the well established group of my father, Prof. Stanislav Dukhin, then the Head of the Theoretical Department in the Institute of Colloid Science of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. Whatever the reasons, I was fortunate to become involved in this exciting project of developing new techniques based on ultrasound. I was even more lucky to inherit the vast experience and scientific base created by my predecessors at Pen Kem. Their hidden contribution to this book is very substantial, and I want to express here my gratitude to them for their pioneering efforts. It took ten yearsfor Phil and I to reach the point when, overwhelmed with the enormous volume of collected results, we concluded the best way to summarize them for potential users was in the form of a book. There were many people who helped us during these years of development and later in writing this book. I would like to mention here several of them personally. First of all, Vladimir Shilov helped us tremendously with the electroacoustic theory. I believe that he is the strongest theoretician alive in the field of electrokinetics and related colloidal phenomena. Although he is very well known in Europe, he is less recognized in the United States. More recently, David Fairhurst joined us again. He brought his extensive expertise in the field of particulates, various colloids related applications and techniques; his comments were very valuable. In our company, Dispersion Technology Inc., Ross Parrish, Manufacttwing and Service Manager, and Betty Rausa, Office Manager, extended their responsibilities last year thus allowing Phil and I time to write this book. We are very grateful for their patience, reliability and understanding. We trust that publishing this book will truly mark the end of ultrasound's "childhood" in the field of colloids; it is no longer a "new" technique for colloids. Currently, there are more than 100 groups in the US, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, China, UK, Belgimrg Finland, Singapore, South Korea, Mexico, and Canada using Dispersion Technology ultrasound based insmmaents. We do not know the total numbers of competitive instruments from Malvem, Matec, Colloidal Dynamics and Sympatec that are also being used in the field, but we estimate that there are over 200 groups world-wide. We strongly believe that this is only the beginning. Ultrasonics has "come of age" and we hope that you will also share this view after reading this book and learning of the many advantages ultrasound can bring to the characterization of colloid systems.
