Dispersing Powders in Liquids, Part 1, by Ralph D. Nelson, Jr.
These are the references that I have found most clearly describe the theory of
solid-vehicle-surfactant interactions, the chemistry of surfactants, the selection
of dispersants, and the analysis of dispersions. Many of the books are in their
second or later editions, indicating both that they have been well received
by the technical community and that theior authors have made an effort
to improve them.
