Reviewing the basic interactions that take place between geological materials and different substances, this comprehensive volume examines the effects of adsorption and other interfacial processes on soil and rock quality. It covers thermodynamic aspects of the soil-liquid interface, examining diffe..

This thoroughly revised and reorganized edition examines the role of polar interfacial and noncovalent interactions among macromolecules, biopolymers, particles, surfaces, cells, and both polar and apolar polymers. New features include four previously unpublished chapters on interfacial properties a..

There have been significant advances in the understanding of interfacial phenomena since the publication of the first edition. Updated to reflect the increased interest in interfaces and surfactant behavior, Interfacial Phenomena: Equilibrium and Dynamic Effects, Second Edition presents a concise su..

Beginning with an introduction to the characteristics and types of plasmas, this text covers the basic models of classical diffuse plasmas used to describe such phenomena as linear and shock waves, stationary flows, elements of plasma chemistry, and principles of plasma lasers. It describes a number..

Kinetics, Transport, and Structure in Hard and Soft Materials discusses the connection between the mechanisms of transport of atomic, or molecular entities that occur in a diverse range of materials, and structure. The text is divided into four parts. Part I discusses the fundamentals of diffusional..

In contrast to the usual approach, based on the concept of continuum media and the theory of heat and mass transfer, the topic is considered from a new viewpoint, taking into account the heterogeneous dispersal state of porous bodies...

A best-seller in its first edition, Liquid Detergents, Second Edition captures the most significant advances since 1996, maintaining its reputation as a first-stop reference in all fundamental theories, practical applications, formulation technologies and manufacturing aspects of liquid detergents. ..

Written for students and researchers in chemistry and physics, this reference reports on recent theoretical and experimental developments in electron-molecules collisions. It presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the practical aspects of electron scattering, which until now could only ..

"Based on the plenary and invited lectures presented at the International Symposium on Micelles, Microemulsions, and Monolayers. Reviews the progress achieved in the last 25 years and describes new directions for research on micellar, microemulsion, and monolayer systems and their technological pote..

Mixed Surfactant Systems, Second Edition surveys properties, behavior, and techniques applicable to mixed surfactant systems. This important book elucidates core theoretical notions while summarizing results of cutting-edge studies in nanoscale phase separation at monolayers of mixed amphiphiles, na..
