description: 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 environmentAn invaluable resource for researchers in biomaterials surface science and the biotechnology industry.
