Abstract:

This paper focused on the compilation of interface chemistry and colloidal chemistry in physical chemistry textbooks, and a detailed comparison was given about the concept elucidation, content selection and arrangement of knowledge in different versions of Chinese and English textbooks. The Chinese textbooks are compared according to the subject category (such as science edition, engineering edition, agriculture and forestry edition) and different versions of the same editor-in-chief. For the English textbooks, we compared the textbooks compiled by different editors and the three versions compiled by Peter Atkins. The differences and evolution of the compilation methods on interface and colloidal chemistry was analyzed, which provides a reference for compiling textbook and course teaching of related disciplines.

Key words: Physical chemistry, Interface chemistry, Colloidal chemistry, Textbook research
