Description

This practical monograph treats, for the first time, the interfacial forces among biopolymers, particles and surfaces, and cells and other polar and apolar polymers - encompassing Lifshitz-van der Waals and electrostatic interactions as well as hydrogen-bonding interactions between colloidal entities in polar media, especially water. Examining the pervasive role played by polar interfacial forces in a variety of biological and nonbiological systems, Interfacial Forces in Aqueous Media details noncovalent interactions among biological and nonbiological macromolecules, surfaces, and particles . . . describes the nature of the various manifestations of hydrophobic interactions and hydration pressure . . . analyzes the measurement of the contact angles that result when liquid droplets are deposited on flat solids . . . covers coacervation and complex coacervation . . . discusses the determination of electrokinetic interaction energies . . . and more.
