Zusatztext "I highly recommend this book to researchers. " - Yang Gan! Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering! University of Melbourne! in Physical Sciences Educational Review! 2007! Vol. 8! No. 1 Informationen zum Autor Carel J. van Oss Klappentext Thoroughly revised and reorganized! the second edition of Interfacial Forces in Aqueous Media examines the role of polar interfacial and noncovalent interactions among biological and nonbiological macromolecules as well as biopolymers! particles! surfaces! cells! and both polar and apolar polymers. The new edition includes four previously unpublished chapters on interfacial properties and structure of liquid water; new material throughout the text on the interplay between macroscopic-scale repulsions and microscopic-scale attractions in protein adsorption; and new chapters covering interfacial tension determination and examining the kinetics and energetics of protein adsorption onto metal oxide surfaces. Zusammenfassung Examines the role of polar interfacial and noncovalent interactions among biological and nonbiological macromolecules. This book encompasses Lifshitz-van der Waals and electrical double layer interactions, as well as Lewis acid-base interactions between colloidal entities in polar liquids such as water.
