Encyclopedia of Solid-Liquid Interfaces is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of macroscopic phenomena at solid-liquid interfaces, e.g. in physics, chemistry, geology, biology and technology, and to describe the methodological approaches and strategies to gain microscopic insight into the underlying properties and processes on the atomic/molecular level. Covering an area of chemistry that plays a fundamental role in nature and technology, the book compiles all relevant features of the field into a'one-stop'reference source that will be relevant to a wide range of interdisciplinary scientists, researchers and academics. Encompassing 155 chapters by renowned experts, and led by leading names in the field, the contents will be organized over 3 volumes. - Provides information on solid Liquid Interfaces that no other resource covers - Includes a comprehensive and interdisciplinary overview on current understanding of the ubiquitous phenomena at Solid-Liquid Interfaces in its full interdisciplinary breadth between physics, chemistry, biology and geology - Ideal resource to use in teaching, research and development that requires inputs on solid-liquid interfaces - Presents an up-to-date accounting of the experimental and theoretical research of solid-liquid interfaces at the atomic/molecular level as provided by expert authors
