<br/><br/>Contents; Contributor contact details; Preface; 1 Thermodynamics and kinetics of protein/surfactant mixtures adsorbed at liquid interfaces; 2 Molecular modelling of polymer surfaces and interfaces; 3 Non-Fickian diffusion in systems with complex interfaces; 4 Semiflexible polymers: from statics to dynamics; 5 Thermodynamics of contact angles on rough, heterogeneous surfaces; 6 Scanning probe microscopy -- applications for the study of soft materials; 7 Pyrene fluorescence to study polymeric systems; 8 Application of axisymmetric drop shape analysis (ADSA) to the study of biomolecules. 
<br/><br/> This book combines three fundamental areas of interest to the science and engineering community, these being material science, nanotechnology and molecular engineering. Although there have been various results published in this field, there has yet to be a fully comprehensive review. This book covers key research on molecular mechanisms and thermodynamic behaviour of (bio)polymer surfaces and interfaces, from theoretical and experimental perspectives.
