Colloids and Interfaces in Life Sciences and Bionanotechnology van Willem Norde is an English-language textbook that focuses on the physicochemical principles behind colloidal and interfacial phenomena. This book is suitable for higher education students who want to gain insight into the role of colloids and interfaces within life sciences and bionanotechnology.
It addresses current topics such as phase separations in polymer systems, electrokinetics of charged permeable coatings, and polymer brush coatings for controlling adsorption and adhesion. The emphasis is on interactions between particles and surfaces, which is essential for applications in (bio)nanotechnology. In addition, the book includes extensive solutions to more than 100 exercises, making it a practical reference work.
The content aligns with disciplines such as medical technology, biotechnology, and medical instruments. This textbook provides a clear foundation for understanding colloidal and interfacial phenomena in natural and technical systems.
