This book covers the science of interfaces between an aqueous phase and a solid another liquid
or a gaseous phase starting from the basic physical chemistry all the way to state-of-the-art
research developments. Both experimental and theoretical methods are treated thanks to the
contributions of a distinguished list of authors who are all active researchers in their
respective fields. The properties of these interfaces are crucial for a wide variety of
processes products and biological systems and functions such as the formulation of personal
care and food products paints and coatings microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip applications cell
membranes and lung surfactants. Accordingly research and expertise on the subject are spread
over a broad range of academic disciplines and industrial laboratories. This book brings
together knowledge from these different places with the aim of fostering education
collaborations and research progress.
