Description This title presents the state-of-the-art in molecular engineering and new developments in the fields of materials science, membrane biophysics,
interfaces, sensing, and intermolecular interactions including molecular recognition.
Topics covered are: the organization (orientation
and association) of molecules in ultrathin films (monolayers) at the air/water interface; long range order in these films and in assemblies
of such films on solid substrates; the interactions with solutes in the aqueous phase (including tensides, enzymes and analytes); and
the potential applications of ultrathin films as nanometric modules in devices.
Audience
Research institutes for colloids and interfaces; university departments for chemistry, physical chemistry, materials science and chemical
engineering; and research and development departments of technology orientated companies.
