Molecular Forces and Self Assembly In Colloid, Nano Sciences and Biology

"Challenging the cherished notions of colloidal theory, Barry Ninham and Pierandrea Lo Nostro confront the scientific lore of molecular forces and colloidal science in an incisive and thought-provoking manner. Throughout the book, they question assumptions, unearth flaws and present new results and ideas. With mathematics kept to a minimum and historic facts and anecdotes woven through the text, this is a highly engaging and readable treatment for students and researchers in science and engineering." --Book Jacket.
