Macromolecules at the Interface: Concepts to Applications

Linking the effect of macromolecules at the interface with the applications, this book clearly portrays how and why macromolecules and colloids adsorb at the interface. It includes details on the basic mechanisms and forces involved, what systems of macromolecules there are at the interface, how polymer conformations vary with changes in their environment and how control of macromolecules at the interface is used in traditional and emerging fields.
