Fundamental and Applied Aspects of Chemically Modified Surfaces

The field of chemically modified particle surfaces has seen many significant developments. This text covers analytical and synthetic techniques for the development and understanding of these surfaces. Encompassing subjects including self-assembled monolayers, scanning probe microscopies, combinatorial synthetic techniques, plasma polymerizations and molecular modelling of modified surfaces, the book provides a snap-shot of concepts and tools.

Material substrates: Polymers, composites and inorganic surfaces; Established and novel surface modification techniques; Characterisation of surface properties; Application of novel modified surfaces.
