  • Describes the basic concepts of surface science with graphical illustrations and experimental results
  • Offers a brief history of the evolution of surface chemistry and a classification of properties of surfaces and interfaces, including clusters and small particles where the science of nanoparticles has shown impressive gains
  • Provides a summary at the end of each chapter reviewing the important conclusions of studies that were discussed
  • Contains problems and solutions

  • Emphasizes the great importance of biointerfaces in biotechnology

  • Includes a brief history and concepts of catalysis followed by discussions of catalyst preparation, techniques of characterization and methods of reaction studies
  • Provides case histories of surface catalysis, ranging from ethylene hydrogenation and ammonia synthesis to the oxidation of carbon monoxide
  • Addresses important applications such as energy conversion, chemical and petroleum refinery, pollution control, microelectronic devices, MEMS, implant materials, biological sensors, and contact lenses
