Self-Assembly Processes at Interfaces (eBook, ePUB)

Multiscale Phenomena

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Self-Assembly Processes at Interfaces: Multiscale Phenomena provides the conceptual and unifying view of adsorption, self-assembly, and grafting processes at solid-liquid and liquid-gas interfaces, also describing experimental methods where applicable.

An invaluable resource for (post)-graduate students looking to bridge the gap between acquiring the field's existing knowledge and the creation of new insights, the book recalls fundamental concepts, giving rigorous, but first-principle-based, calculations and exercises, and showing how these concepts have been used in recent research articles.

Readers will find guidelines on how best to start research in the field of surface chemistry with biological macromolecules and molecules able to undergo self-assembly process at interfaces in the presence of a liquid, along with discussions on the very fundamental aspects and applications using concepts of biomimetic chemistry.

By highlighting the interdisciplinary aspects of the field of self-assembly at interfaces, the book is an ideal resource for chemical engineers, chemists, physicists, and biologists. In addition, important equations are demonstrated on the basis of fundamental concepts, and overly complex mathematical developments are avoided.

• Presents an interdisciplinary work that is ideal for chemical engineers, chemists, physicists, and biologists
• Provides a unifying view of the field, from fundamentals, to methods and applications
• Includes concepts applicable at both solid-liquid and liquid-gas interfaces
