Surface & Interfacial Chemistry [Hardcover] [Jan 01, 2016] W. Russ Algar, Ulrich J. Krull

Surface chemistry defined as the study of chemical reactions at interfaces, which aims at modifying the chemical composition of a surface by incorporation of selected elements or functional groups that produce various desired effects or improvements in the properties of the surface or interface. Whereas interfacial chemistry examines the processes in a montmorillonite model system and illustrates the kinetic aspects of interfacial reactions. This book presents the area of surface or interface chemistry, has embraced studies that range all the way from observation of individual atoms to macroscopic phenomena investigated with the ordinary light micscope.
