Encyclopedia of Biocolloid and Biointerface Science, 2 Volume Set

This encyclopedia uniquely concentrates on biocolloids and biointerfaces rather than the broader field of colloid and interface science. Biocolloids and biointerfaces are the youngest but increasingly prominent studied area of colloid and interface science, and this encyclopedia uses "soft particles" and "soft interface" as surface models in observing phenomena in biological systems. Provides a detailed description of the fundamental theories, dealing with the physicochemical and theoretical aspects of biocolloid and biointerface scienceOffers a detailed description of soft interfaces or surfacesIncludes detailed description of applications of fundamental biocolloid and biointerface theories to nano-, bio, and environmental sciencesA useful and timely resource for researchers and graduates in the field of biocolloid and biointerface science, as well as engineers in the field of nanotechnology, bioscience, and environmental science.
