Chemically Modified Surfaces

The chemical modification of surfaces is an expanding science, and the range of surfaces which can be modified is increasing all the time. This new book provides information on recent developments in a broad range of topics relating to this fascinating and growing area. Chemically Modified Surfaces: Recent Developments includes details of advances involving catalysts, organic surfaces, and separation materials. As surface modification is such a fast growing area, the book addresses developments in the newer fields of research such as polymer surfaces and chemical sensors, as well as more traditional areas, such as catalysts and chromatographic materials. There is a useful combination of fundamental research and practical application throughout the book, which will make it a key reference text. This new book is designed to follow on from Chemically Modified Surfaces, published in March 1994, which gives a broad overview of the subject. By providing a review of recent developments in a variety of fields related to surface science, this new title complements the approach of the previous book. It will be of particular interest to those involved in analytical chemistry, as well as researchers in polymer science, materials science, and surface and colloid science.
