Summary

Summary

A detailed understanding of the chemistry of surfaces and interfaces is required by many research personnel in the chemical and life science industries, as surfaces and interfaces play a critical role in many of the processes they seek to influence.


Surface Chemistry of Solid and Liquid Interfaces provides a concise and easily accessible introduction to this fascinating subject. With a smooth evolution of ideas from familiar physical chemistry principles, the student can develop a sophisticated understanding of the chemistry of surfaces and interfaces. The book is also highly relevant to new researchers in industry and newly emerging nanotechnology field who often encounter surface and interface chemistry and need to be conversant with the principles and investigative tools, without being specialists.


Author Notes

H Y Erbil is Professor of Chemical Engineering in the Gebze Institute of Technology, Kocaeli, Turkey with research interests in physical chemistry and surface properties of polymers
