Intermolecular and Surface Forces describes the role of various intermolecular and interparticle forces in determining the properties of simple systems such as gases, liquids and solids, with a special focus on more complex colloidal, polymeric and biological systems. The book provides a thorough foundation in theories and concepts of intermolecular forces, allowing researchers and students to recognize which forces are important in any particular system, as well as how to control these forces. This third edition is expanded into three sections and contains five new chapters over the previous edition.
Part I 1. Historical Perspective 2. Thermodynamic and Statistical Aspects of Intermolecular Forces; 3. Strong Intermolecular Forces: Covalent and Coulomb Interactions 4. Interactions Involving Polar Molecules 5. Interactions Involving the Polarization of Molecules 6. Van Der Waals Forces 7. Repulsive Steric Forces, Total Intermolecular Pair Potentials, and Liquid Structure 8. Special Interactions: Hydrogen Bonding, Hydrophobic, and Hydrophilic Interactions 9. Non-Equilibrium and Time-Dependent Interactions Part II 10. Some Unifying Concepts in Intermolecular and Interparticle Forces 11. Contrasts Between Intermolecular, Interparticle, and Intersurface Forces 12. Force-Measuring Techniques 13. Van Der Waals Forces Between Surfaces in Liquids 14. Electrostatic Forces Between Surfaces in Liquids 15. Solvation, Structural and Hydration Forces 16. Steric (Polymer-Mediated) and Thermal Fluctuation Forces 17. Adhesion and Wetting Phenomena 18. Friction and Lubrication Forces Part III 19. Thermodynamic Principles of Self-Assembly 20. Aggregation of Amphiphilic Molecules into Soft Structures 21. Interactions Within and Between Biological Structures 22. Dynamic Bio-Interactions
