Biophysical Chemistry of Biointerfaces

Biointerfaces are central to biology and medicine and crucial in research relating to implants, biosensors, drug delivery, proteomics, and many other fields. Biophysical Chemistry of Biointerfaces is the first book to provide guiding principles of the biophysical chemistry of biointerfaces as well as tools for understanding and analyzing phenomena that occur there. The book presents detailed descriptions of cutting–edge topics, making it an information–rich resource for surface and colloid chemists, physical chemists, chemical engineers, biophysicists, biochemists, materials scientists, polymer and food scientists, and graduate students and postdoctoral students.
