Carel J. van Oss | 1994-01-15 00:00:00 | CRC Press | 440 | Internal Medicine
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!
