This book presents new and updated developments in the molecular theory of mixtures and solutions. It is based on the theory of Kirkwood and Buff which was published more than fifty years ago. This theory has been dormant for almost two decades. It has recently become a very powerful and general tool to analyze, study and understand any type of mixtures from the molecular, or the microscopic point of view. The traditional approach to mixture has been, for many years, based on the study of excess thermodynamic quantities. This provides a kind of global information on the system. The new approach provides information on the local properties of the same system. Thus, the new approach supplements and enriches our information on mixtures and solutions.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
The book incorporates many seminal advances in the understanding of aqueous solutions of macromolecules, especially protein solutions ... Ben-Naim's text has energy and readability that make it compelling for many uses. * Physics Today * Ben-Naim has written a clear, lucid, and pedagogical exposition of a molecular theory of solutions. It bears the hallmarks of an author who has thought deeply, published extensively, and has very decided views on the subject. It is a beautiful read.' Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2007 The book will serve for decades as a major reference in the field. * Robert M. Mazo, University of Oregon * Ben-Naim writes in a very clear, methodical fashion. * Max Berkowitz, University of North Carolina *
