Presents the latest ideas and research on molecular hydration and
hydration forces, and how they determine the interaction between
water molecules and biomaterials surfaces. Consisting of three
sections; theoretical aspects, analytical aspects and practical
applications, it begins by placing the properties of water in a
proper molecular perspective.
The analytical aspects and practical applications offer a complete overview with new insights into the biomaterials/water interface by:
- Discussing the latest approaches to the characterisation of water at interfaces and surface modification of biomaterials
- Examining the problems related to the understanding and characterisation of interfacial water
- Providing new perspectives of the interfacial interactions between materials and the physiological aqueous environment
An invaluable resource for researchers in biomaterials surface science and the biotechnology industry.
