Publisher's Synopsis
Combines a theoretical foundation with comprehensive discussions addressed to experimentalists. It should be of interest to research scientists as well as graduate and postdoctoral students, in physical chemistry, biophysics and biochemistry, colloid chemistry and biochemical engineering.;The book tackles issues resulting from the complexity of multicomponent macroionic systems. Initial chapters offer comprehensive coverage of a number of topics, including coupled electrolyte-polyion dynamics, electroviscous effects and the effect of an external electric field on the equilibrium and dynamic properties of the systems. At each step, the author survery briefly the current state of research. The principles laid out in the early chapters lead to their application to macromolecules of biological significance.
