With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the surface-to-volume ratio of objects of interest continues to increase. As such, so does the importance of our ability to tailor interfacial properties. Written by bestselling author and internationally renowned researcher K.S. Birdi, this volume offers comprehensive coverage of the field of electrical double layer (EDL) research. It discusses theoretical models used with EDL and demonstrates how they can be applied to typically encountered real-world problems including those that must be considered in modern industrial applications. The book provides bonus material on advanced theory that is separate from the main text.
