Publisher's Synopsis
Chemically Modified Surfaces provides a broad overview of the topic, illustrating that the range of materials on which surface modifications can be accomplished is expanding, in tandem with an increase in the types of techniques for studying them. The book discusses oxide surfaces for chromatography, capillary electrophoresis and catalysis, polymer surfaces (both organic and inorganic), and metals. It also covers a variety of methods for characterising chemical modifications of surfaces, including nuclear magnetic resonance, electron paramagnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analytical techniques, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ellipsometry, surface plasmon resonance, scanning electron microscopy, and chromatography. Chemically Modified Surfaces will be of interest to those involved in analytical chemistry, chromatography and applied spectroscopy, as well as polymer, materials, and surface and colloid science, and will act as a platform for the presentation of new scientific contributions on the chemical modification and characterisation of surfaces, as well as other relevant topics of current interest.
