Inhaltsangabe

Particles and Interfaces: Interaction, Deposition, Structure, Volume 20, Second Edition unifies particle and protein adsorption phenomena by presenting recent developments in this growing field of nanoscience. While experimental data is available in vast quantities, there is a deficit in quality interpretation of that data. This title provides such information, emphasizing the basic physics behind practical problems, thus empowering the reader to estimate relevant effects. The book includes solved problems of particle transport under non-linear conditions and their relevance to predicting protein adsorption, including an entirely new chapter devoted to polyelectrolyte and protein adsorption at solid/liquid and solid/gas interfaces.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The author, Zbigniew Adamczyk, PhD, DSc, Full professor at the J. Haber Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, Kraków, Poland, is an experienced scientist, author of over 300 publications, 30 review papers, book chapters and books. His broad research interests comprise mechanisms and kinetics of adsorption of polyelectrolytes, nanoparticles and proteins, electrostatic interactions, electrokinetic phenomena, hydrodynamics of polyelectrolytes and proteins in the bulk and at interfaces, diffusion and transport of particles to surfaces. Highlights of his scientific activities, both in the theoretical and experimental domain, comprise elaboration of the convective diffusion theory, quantitative description of adsorption kinetics from multi-component mixtures, new hybrid model of protein adsorption and desorption, generalization of Langmuir isotherm, fluctuation theory of adsorption at heterogeneous surfaces, theoretical description of electrokinetics phenomena for particle and protein covered surfaces, developing the concept of electrostatically driven protein adsorption.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

A comprehensive combination of traditional theories of electrostatics, hydrodynamics, and transport and new approaches based on computer simulations.

• Unifies information from various fields such as electrostatics, hydrodynamic, colloid science, biophysics
• Presents information in a user-friendly manner including computer aided graphics and schematic drawings
• Applies a phenomenological approach to the content and provides readily accessible reference data

Despite rapid progress in this area, there is no other book devoted entirely to the subject of particle and protein transport, deposition and structuring at boundary surfaces. Particles at Interfaces: Interactions, Deposition, Structure, Second edition: revised and extended cohesively fills this gap by combining traditional theories of electrostatics, hydrodynamics, and transport with new approaches based on computer simulations.

In this revised and extended edition, the particle and protein adsorption phenomena are unified by presenting recent developments in this growing field of nanoscience. While experimental data is available in vast quantities, there is a deficit in quality interpretation of that data. This title provides such information simply but not simplistically, emphasizing the understanding of the basic physics behind practical problems thus empowering the reader to estimate relevant effects. The book includes solved problems of particle transport under non-linear conditions and their relevance to predicting protein adsorption, including an entirely new chapter devoted to polyelectrolyte and protein adsorption at solid/liquid and solid/gas interfaces. The title also explores the newly emerged fields of biosensor, protein chips, and architectural multilayers of proteins, nanoparticles and polyelectrolytes. Particles at Interfaces: Interactions, Deposition, Structure, Second Edition, provides readily accessible theoretical data and recent experimental results and serves as a valuable resource for both students and advanced professionals working in academia and industry.
