Electrical Phenomena at Interfaces and Biointerfaces - Fundamentals and
Applications in Nano-, Bio-, and Environmental Sciences
Book description
This book bridges three different fields: nanoscience, bioscience, and
environmental sciences. It starts with fundamental electrostatics at
interfaces and includes a detailed description of fundamental theories
dealing with electrical double layers around a charged particle,
electrokinetics, and electrical double layer interaction between charged
particles. The stated fundamentals are provided as the underpinnings of
sections two, three, and four, which address electrokinetic phenomena
that occur in nanoscience, bioscience, and environmental science.
Applications in nanomaterials, fuel cells, electronic materials,
biomaterials, stems cells, microbiology, water purificiaion, and humic
substances are discussed.
Hiroyuki Ohshima is a Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the
Tokyo University of Science, Japan. He is the author or coauthor of
seven books and over 300 book chapters and journal publications
reflecting his research interests in colloid and interfacial sciences,
as well as biophysical chemistry. Dr. Ohshima has conducted research
at the University of Melbourne, the State University of New York at
Buffalo, and the University of Utah. He currently edits two journals,
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces and Colloid and Polymer Science.
