Progress in Surface and Membrane Science : Volume 14

Progress in Surface and Membrane Science, Volume 14 covers the advances in the study of surface and membrane science. The book discusses statistical thermodynamics of monolayer adsorption from gas and liquid mixtures on homogeneous and heterogeneous solid surfaces; and the structure of the boundary layers of liquids and its influence on the mass transfer in fine pores. The text then describes the coupling of ionic and non-electrolyte fluxes in ion selective membranes; the electrocatalytic properties of matalloporphins at the interface; and the adsorption from binary gas and liquid phases. Phase transitions in two-dimensional amphiphilic systems, as well as the wettability of solids by liquid metals are also considered. Biochemists, physicists, and people in electrochemistry research will find the book invaluable.
