Publisher's Synopsis
Chemistry at aqueous interfaces is a mature field with a long history, but only recently have researchers gained a molecular-level picture of interfaces. Aqueous Interfaces provides an overview of the latest advances that have led to a more accurate description of interfacial processes and the discovery of new phenomena. After an introduction to statistical methods, this book discusses both experimental and theoretical techniques as well as their various applications to the study of interfacial structures and phenomena. The text uses familiar concepts such as the hydrophobic effect and the theory of electrolytic solutions to demonstrate how these concepts can be applied to interfacial problems.
