Description

Book Synopsis
An accessible yet rigorous discussion of the thermodynamics of surfaces and interfaces, delivering a comprehensive guide without an overwhelming amount of mathematics. It features case studies to illustrate real-world applications, and study problems to reinforce the reader's understanding of important concepts. An ideal reference for students and practitioners in the field.

Trade Review
