This review presents recent advances regarding biomass-based nanomaterials, focusing on
their surface interactions. Plant biomass-based nanoparticles, like nanocellulose and lignin …

The ubiquity of aqueous solutions in contact with charged surfaces and the realization that
the molecular-level details of water–surface interactions often determine interfacial functions …

Nanostructures of diverse chemical nature are used as biomarkers, therapeutics, catalysts,
and structural reinforcements. The decoration with surfactants has a long history and is …

Biomolecular interactions underpin most processes inside the cell. Hence, a precise and
quantitative understanding of molecular association and dissociation events is crucial, not …

The hydration lubrication paradigm, whereby hydration layers are both strongly held by the
charges they surround, and so can support large pressures without being squeezed out, and …

This open access book provides a detailed exploration of the phase behaviour of, and
interfacial properties in, complex colloidal mixtures (eg, clay, milk, blood). Insights into …

The concept of a general attractive interaction be-tween neutral atoms was first proposed by
van der Waals in 1873, to account for certain properties of nonideal gases and liquids. 1 …

This book presents an introduction to the chemistry of the solid-water interface. Stressing
surface chemical principles that can be applied in the geochemistry of natural waters, soils …

Physics and Chemistry of Interfaces Comprehensive textbook on the interdisciplinary field of
interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

As non-renewable natural resources, minerals are essential in a broad range of biological
and technological applications. The surface interactions of mineral particles with other …
