DESCRIPTION:
Five Stars Excellent
van Oss is extremely valuable as a whole." ---Biofouling "This book should be of interest to anyone who is involved in the prediction of colloidal stability. For the first time, van Oss has brought together a comprehensive review of his knowledge which has been published in more than 80 papers." ---Powder Technology ." the book is a highly useful piece of work for those working in the field of interfacial forces. Moreover, it is an account of the author's research experience over the last 30 years. It should be particularly of interest to those working with systems containing water soluble polymers and biological sys
New in this Edition:Four previously unpublished chapters comprising a new section on interfacial properties and structure of liquid water New material throughout the text on the interplay between macroscopic-scale repulsions and microscopic-scale attractions in protein adsorptionA new chapter covering interfacial tension determination A new chapter examining the kinetics and energetics of protein adsorption onto metal oxide surfaces Dr. van Oss describes the nature of the various manifestations of hydrophobic interactions as well as of hydration pressure and analyzes the measurement of the contact angles that result when liquid droplets are deposited on flat solids. He is an editorial advisor for the Journal ofDispersion Science and Technology. Principally involved in multiple applications of colloids and interface science for more than 50 years, Carel Jan van Oss is Editor Emeritus of Immunological Investigations and Founding Editor of Preparative Biochemistry andBiotechnology and of Separation and Purification Reviews. van Oss is the author, coauthor, or editor of eleven books, including Colloid & Surface Properties of Clays and Related Minerals
