Colloids and Interfaces in Life Sciences

Exploring aqueous dispersions and solutions, biopolymer gels, self-assembled amphiphillic structures, and interfacial layers of biopolymers and biological cells, this classroom reference gives a concise introductory treatment of the physicochemical principles that determine interrelated colloidal and interfacial phenomena and their relevance to various life sciences—focusing on concepts that form the basis for understanding this behavior.
