The first book on the innovative study of biointerfaces using
biophysical chemistry

The biophysical phenomena that occur on biointerfaces, or
biological surfaces, hold a prominent place in the study of biology
and medicine, and are crucial for research relating to implants,
biosensors, drug delivery, proteomics, and many other important
areas. Biophysical Chemistry of Biointerfaces takes the
unique approach of studying biological systems in terms of the
principles and methods of physics and chemistry, drawing its
knowledge and experimental techniques from a wide variety of
disciplines to offer new tools to better understand the intricate
interactions of biointerfaces. Biophysical Chemistry of
Biointerfaces:

* Provides a detailed description of the thermodynamics and
electrostatics of soft particles

* Fully describes the biophysical chemistry of soft interfaces and
surfaces (polymer-coated interfaces and surfaces) as a model for
biointerfaces

* Delivers many approximate analytic formulas which can be used to
describe various interfacial phenomena and analyze experimental
data

* Offers detailed descriptions of cutting-edge topics such as the
biophysical and interfacial chemistries of lipid membranes and gel
surfaces, which serves as good model for biointerfaces in
microbiology, hematology, and biotechnology

Biophysical Chemistry of Biointerfaces pairs sound
methodology with fresh insight on an emerging science to serve as
an information-rich reference for professional chemists as well as
a source of inspiration for graduate and postdoctoral students
looking to distinguish themselves in this challenging field.

Rezensionen

"Ohshima (pharmaceutical science, Tokyo U. of Science) sets out a
set of tools for discussing various phenomena at biological
interfaces - such as cell surfaces - in terms of biophysical
chemistry." (SciTech Book News, December 2010)
