Description: Describes hierarchical assemblies in biology and biological processes that occur at the nanoscale across membranes and at interfaces!This book covers recurrent themes in nanocolloid science, including self-assembly, construction of supramolecular architecture, nanoconfinement and compartmentalization, measurement and control of interfacial forces, novel synthetic materials, and computer simulation.Reviews surface forces apparatus measurements of two-dimensional organized ensembles at solid-liquid interfaces!With more than 2600 references and over 550 equations, drawings, tables, photographs, and micrographs, Nano-Surface Chemistry discusses Langmuir-Blodgett films of varying organizational complexityconsiders the relationship of supramolecular layer assemblies to nanotechnology reveals the effect of solid nanometric deformation on the kinetics of wetting, dewetting, and capillary flow details scanning polarization force microscopy to study the nanostructure of liquid films and dropletspresents a biomolecular system of glycoproteins derived from bacterial cell envelopes that spontaneously aggregate to form crystalline arrays in the mesoscopic range focuses on DNA nanoensembles condensed by polymer interactions and electrostatic forces for gene transfer gives examples of nanofabrication of cored colloidal particles and hollow capsules clarifies the use of reversed micelles as nanohosts for solvents, drugs, carriers, and reactorsexamines the change in transport properties of electrolytes confined in nanostructuresand more!Depicting a vast range of industrial and technological applications that stem from the new way scientists view molecular behavior, Nano-Surface Chemistry is a blue-ribbon reference for physical, surface, colloid, inorganic, organic, polymer, medicinal, and analytical chemists; chemical engineers; physicists and biophysicists; pharmaceutical scientists; materials scientists; biochemists; biophysicists; biotechnologists; biomaterials specialists; biologists; and graduate students in these disciplines.
