Research and Markets: Key Research into Molecular Interfacial Phenomena of Polymers and Biopolymers Reviewed.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c20951) has announced the addition of Molecular Interfacial Phenomena of Polymers and Biopolymers to their offering

One of the most exciting areas of polymer research is the study of interfacial phenomena and their practical applications. This major work reviews the key research in this important area and is used in such areas as biomaterials.

The first part of the book looks at the thermodynamics, kinetics and other fundamental properties of polymer surfaces and interfaces. The second part reviews ways of characterising and manipulating interfacial phenomena. It includes examples of practical applications such as vaccine delivery, tissue engineering and the development of therapeutic lung surfactants.

With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, "Molecular Interfacial Phenomena of Polymers and Biopolymers" will be a standard work on understanding polymeric interfacial properties and their medical and other practical applications.

Key Features:

- Reviews key research in this hot area including biomaterials

- Examines polymeric interfacial properties and reviews medical and other practical applications

- Edited by a leading authority with contributions from distinguished experts worldwide

Topics covered include:

Part 1 Fundamentals

- Thermodynamics and kinetics of protein/surfactant mixtures at liquid interfaces

- Non-Fickian diffusion in systems with complex interfaces

- Semiflexible sem·i·flex·i·ble  
adj.
Partially or somewhat flexible: semiflexible tubing.
