Informationen zum Autor Stoylov\! Stoyl P.; Stoimenova\! Maria V. Klappentext Molecular and Colloidal Electro-Optics presents a well-integrated yet multi-disciplinary treatment of fundamental principles! strategies! and applications of electro-optic techniques for the characterization of macromolecular! small-particle! and nanomolecular systems. The book highlights the latest achievements in electro-optic theory! particularly low-frequency relaxation! and the unique advantage of using electro-optics as an alternative to conventional characterization and analysis of colloidal systems. As the first treatment of this subject to surface in more than fifteen years! this book is a definitive! up-to-date portrait of modern colloidal electro-optic science that is ideal for advanced graduate students and researchers in biophysical chemistry! microbiology! polymer! colloid! and nanoscience. Zusammenfassung Offers a portrait of modern colloidal electro-optic science and applications. This text illustrates the advantage of using electro-optics as an alternative to conventional characterization and analysis of macromolecular, small-particle, and nanomolecular colloidal systems. It also highlights the achievements in electro-optic theory. Inhaltsverzeichnis The First Years of Modern Electro-Optics: A Historical Review; H.
