Interfacial science impacts on our lives in diverse and surprising
ways. Without it, we would face bubble bath without the bubbles,
detergents which don't clean, cappuccinos without the froth. It has
also fuelled some of the most ground-breaking and
throught-provoking advances in research in recent times, from
biosciences to nanotechnology. Introduction to Interfacial Science
offers an engaging insight into the study of the physical and
chemical properties of interfaces, how they behave, why they behave
as they do, and how this behavior can be harnessed and exploited in
novel and exciting ways.
Interfacial Science: An Introduction is an accessible text
introducing readers to the chemistry of interfaces, a subject of
increasing relevance and popularity due to the emergence of
nanoscience.
Opening with an overview of the key principles of capilliarity and
adsorption, the book goes on to explore liquid/gas, solid/gas, and
liquid/liquid interfaces, before examining biological interfaces,
one of the most stimulating areas of current research. With the
careful explanation of essential mathematical and physical
concepts, and description of real world applications of the
material presented, the book helps the student to build confidence
in, and see the relevance of, the topics covered.
Striking a careful balance between the highly mathematical
treatments of the subject by more specialist texts, and the
rudimentary treatment offered by general physical chemistry texts,
Interfacial Science: An Introduction offers a breadth and depth of
treatment which is perfect for any advanced undergraduate course on
this exciting, dynamic subject.
