As additional reading is recommended:
Paul C. Hiemenz, and Raj Rajagopalan: Principles of Colloid and Surface Chemistry, Marcel Dekker Inc., 3rd ed. 1997 (650 pages).
The book contains most of the curriculum and a lot more. The curriculum is only what is lectured. Some smaller parts of the curriculum are not covered by the book, still buying the book is recommended. During lectures, it will as much as possible be referred to chapters in the book.
The following is a simpler introductory book:
Robert J. Hunter: Introduction to Modern Colloid Science,
Oxford University Press, 1993 - 2002, ISBN 0 19 855386 2
