Description
This book describes the roles of various intermolecular and interparticle forces in determining the properties of simple systems such
as gases, liquids, and solids, of more complex colloidal, polymeric, and biological systems. The book provides a thorough grounding in
theories and concepts of intermolecular forces, allowing students and researchers to recognize which forces are important in any particular
system and how to control these forces.
Audience
Advanced undergraduate/graduate students and researchers in physical chemistry, molecular chemical physics, chemical engineering, and biochemistry.
