The problem of wetting and drop dynamics on various surfaces is very interesting from both the scientificas well as thepractical viewpoint, and subject of intense research.The results are scattered across papers in journals, sothis workwill meet the need for a unifying, comprehensive work.

Rezensionen

lt;P>"Although the book is not primarily meant for mathematicians, all mathematicians concerned with modelling some aspects of wetting will benefit from this book that can be used as a guide to understand the physical mechanisms behind wetting." Mathematical Reviews

"[…] it [the book] is an easily accessible text, treating real surfaces as the title promises. It will be very useful for practicing colloid chemists in industrial research and development, in addition to serving as an excellent text for advanced undergraduate and graduate studies. In fact, my spontaneous reaction to the book was: "I wish it had been available 50-60 years ago, when I was a young graduate student." […] I urgently recommend this book to professionals in both academia and industry." Stig E. Friberg, Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology, 2015
