Overview

This practical monograph treats, for the first time, the interfacial forces among biopolymers, particles and surfaces, and cells and other polar and apolar polymers encompassing Lifshitz-van der Waals and electrostatic interactions as well as hydrogen-bonding interactions between colloidal entities in polar media, especially water.

. . .It gives a totally new view on the interaction forces operating between colloidal particles, in particular proteins and other biopolymers in aqueous media. Moreover, it is an account of the author's research experience over the last 30 years. For the first time, van Oss has brought together a comprehensive review of his knowledge which has been published in more than 80 papers. ---Powder Technology . . .the book is a highly useful piece of work for those working in the field of interfacial forces. Although a major part of the theory is still the subject of debate amongst researchers, the compilation of views as presented by Dr. van Oss is extremely valuable as a whole. ---Biofouling This book should be of interest to anyone who is involved in the prediction of colloidal stability. It should be particularly of interest to those working with systems containing water soluble polymers and biological systems. ---Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology
