Macromolecules at the Interface: Concepts to Applications

Description

This book portrays, clearly and simply, how and why macromolecules adsorb at the interface, the basic mechanisms and forces involved, what systems of macromolecules there are at the interface, how polymer conformations vary with environment and how control of macromolecules at the interface is used in traditional and emerging fields. Written for advanced level students and researchers in academia and industry, the effect of macromolecules at the interface is presented and linked to applications. Following a descriptive approach the authors bring the literature up-to-date and make it accessible.
