Water, with its simple molecular structure, reveals a complex
nature upon interaction with other molecules and surfaces. Water at
Interfaces: A Molecular Approach provides a broad,
multidisciplinary introduction to water at interfaces, focusing on
its molecular characteristics. The book considers interfaces at
different length scales from single water molecules to involvement
of large numbers of water molecules, and from one-dimensional to
three-dimensional interfaces. It begins with individual water
molecules, describing their basic properties and the fundamental
concepts that form the basis of this book. The text explores the
main interfaces involving pure and ion-free condensed (liquid and
solid) water, including water vapor/liquid water, liquid/oil, and
liquid/solid interfaces. It examines water molecules on ideal
surfaces-well-ordered (crystalline) and defect-free-covering topics
such as electronic structure using frontier orbitals and
substrate-induced structuring. The book discusses the affinity of
water to surfaces, hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, emphasizing
two extreme cases of affinity. It then addresses real solid
surfaces where water/solid interfaces play a key role in actual
working conditions, examining water purification, photocatalytic
activity, corrosion and degradation, and atmospheric agents. The
final chapter deals with the interaction of water with the
heterogeneous and complex surfaces of biomolecules, which can both
influence the structure of the surrounding water and be modulated
by the surrounding liquid. The author discusses simple to more
complex biomolecules from peptides to proteins, nucleic acids, and
membranes.
