Krister Holmberg, Since 1998 Professor of Applied Surface Chemistry at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden 1991-1998 Director of the Institute for Surface Chemistry in Stockholm, Sweden 1988-1991 Research Director of Berol Nobel, Stenungsund, Sweden

"...a valuable addition to any technical library...concisely covers five books? worth of material in two handy volumes..." (Polymer News) "Readers will appreciate...this two-volume, practically oriented reference..." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 26, No. 2, June 2002)"...an excellent collection of topical reviews, both fundamental and applied, and is recommended to academic and industrial researchers alike." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2002)
