Synopsis

Focusing on physiochemical aspects, this work provides an overview of biopolymer interfacial behaviour, advancing current understanding of the importance of protein adsorption in biophysical and biochemical processes, as well as the relevance of such phenomena in biomedicine. The text addresses fundamental aspects of biopolymer interfacial behaviour, such as adsorption kinetics, adsorbed layer structure and dynamics, interfacial orientation, effects of self-assembly on protein adsorption, interactions between biopolymer layers, and interfacial exchange.

About this title

Review

"The book has a good homogeneity of style, clear and uncluttered figures, and quite extensive and up-to-date references. The chapters are concise and do an excellent job of presenting the jargon of various scientific domains concisely, so that the reader can understand the key underlying concepts as well as the challenges. Many of the chapters provide good methodological hints where experiments are difficult, and others tabulate key data in accessible form. All have kept equations readable and with clear, defined, and summarized nomenclature. I am pleased to have Biopolymers at Interfaces as a reference in my personal library-highly recommended." - Polymer News, Vol. 29, No. 5
