An accessible yet rigorous discussion of the thermodynamics of
surfaces and interfaces, bridging the gap between textbooks and
advanced literature by delivering a comprehensive guide without an
overwhelming amount of mathematics. The book begins with a review
of the relevant aspects of the thermodynamics of bulk systems,
followed by a description of the thermodynamic variables for
surfaces and interfaces. Important surface phenomena are detailed,
including wetting, crystalline systems (including grain
boundaries), interfaces between different phases, curved interfaces
(capillarity), adsorption phenomena and adhesion of surface layers.
The later chapters also feature case studies to illustrate
real-world applications. Each chapter includes a set of study
problems to reinforce the reader's understanding of important
concepts. Ideal as an auxiliary text for students and a self-study
guide for industry practitioners and academic researchers working
across a broad range of materials.
