Interfacial and Confined Water

Zusammenfassung Water in the proximity of a surface (interfacial water) is abundant on the earth. It is involved in various physical and chemical processes and crucial for biological function. This book provides review of experimental and simulation studies of water in various confining environments, such as hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces, and porous media.
