Summary:

Eighteen contributions provide advanced, theoretical approaches to the interfacial systems encountered in diverse phenomena in biology and industry. Relating to theoretical descriptions of adsorption on solids, earlier chapters cover the behavior of confined soft condensed matter, quantum effects, molecular computer simulation studies of water and aqueous electrolyte solutions, and Monte Carlo simulation of surface chemical reactions. Later chapters examine systems containing the polymer molecules, polymer simulations, mathematical modeling of particular systems, and recent studies on crystal growth process. Intended for scientists and advanced students in chemistry and theoretical physics.
