Riassunto

Presents the latest ideas and research on molecular hydration and hydration forces, and how they determine the interaction between water molecules and biomaterials surfaces. Consisting of three sections; theoretical aspects, analytical aspects and practical applications, it begins by placing the properties of water in a proper molecular perspective.

The analytical aspects and practical applications offer a complete overview with new insights into the biomaterials/water interface by:

- Discussing the latest approaches to the characterisation of water at interfaces and surface modification of biomaterials

- Examining the problems related to the understanding and characterisation of interfacial water

- Providing new perspectives of the interfacial interactions between materials and the physiological aqueous environment

An invaluable resource for researchers in biomaterials surface science and the biotechnology industry.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Water in Biomaterials Surface Science presents the latest ideas and research on molecular hydration and hydration forces, and how they determine the interaction between water molecules and biomaterials surfaces. Split into three sections, theoretical, analytical and practical applications, it begins by discussing the relationship between the molecules of life and the molecular structure of water and how the latter determines forces at the solid/aqueous interface.

Sections two, analytical techniques, and three, practical applications, offer a complete overview and new insights into the biomaterials/water interface by:
* discussing the latest approaches to the characterisation of water at interfaces and surface modification of biomaterials

* examining the problems related to the understanding and characterisation of interfacial water

* providing new perspectives of the interfacial interactions between materials and the physiological aqueous environment
Written by an international team of scientists Water in Biomaterials Surface Science will be essential reading for researchers in biomaterials surface science, biomedical appliances and biotechnologists involved in the development of hydrophilic materials for biotechnological devices.
