Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Series: Physical Chemistry in Action

This book presents the dynamics of colloids and interfaces in various materials such as assemblies of surfactants, lipids, nanoparticles, and surfaces of biomaterials, catalysts and engineering materials. It covers a wide range of topics, from basics to applications, on fabrication, functions, and understanding the mechanisms of those systems.

The book highlights the importance of understanding from the perspective of colloidal and interfacial chemistry for the materials exhibiting dynamic behaviors. Readers can find a new direction for the development of nano-stimulus-responsive systems consisting of molecular assemblies by understanding the relationships between the dynamics of molecules, the dynamics of molecular assemblies, and the dynamics of the functions of molecular assemblies. Also, the book provides useful knowledge for the development of new photocatalysts through a detailed explanation of the complex dynamics of electron transfer on the catalyst surface.

The authors hope that common denominators will be found in different materials from the perspective of the dynamics of colloids and interfaces, and that readers will find guidelines for the development of new nanomaterials.
