Physical chemistry of surfaces

Continues the tradition of its predecessors by focusing on all aspects of surface chemistry and selected aspects of colloid chemistry. Well-known to surface chemists nationally and internationally, it covers such areas as structure and thermodynamics of liquid interfaces; electrical aspects of surface chemistry; microscopy and spectroscopy of solid interfaces; nucleation; contact angle; adsorption from solution; friction and adhesion; lubrication; and chemisorption and catalysis. Contains 2,300 references (40 percent of them new), 350 problems at the end of chapters, and over 300 well-illustrated figures.
