Liquid Interfaces in Chemistry and Biology [Hardcover]

This text is intended for use as an introduction to both the theory of surface science and its applications in modern biology and chemistry. The book attempts to explain the physical and chemical fundamentals of interfacial phenomena, and readers will find virtually all definitions and concepts needed to understand the role of interfaces in chemistry and biology.Eine Einf?hrung in die Theorie der Oberfl?chenwissenschaft und ihrer Anwendungsbereiche in der modernen Biologie und Chemie. Das Buch behandelt die physikalischen und chemischen Grundlagen des Grenzfl?chenph?nomens. Es liefert s?mtliche Definitionen und Begriffe, die zum Verst?ndnis der Funktion der Grenzfl?chen notwendig sind. (10/97)THERMODYNAMICS OF INTERFACES.
