The physics and chemistry underlying what happens at the surface of two liquid substances has applications in purification of nuclear waste, emulsion technology, textile processing, cosmetics, paper production, and mineral extraction processes.

This text is intended for use as an introduction to both the theory of surface science and its applications in modern biology and chemistry. The book attempts to explain the physical and chemical fundamentals of interfacial phenomena, and readers will find virtually all definitions and concepts needed to understand the role of interfaces in chemistry and biology.
