Title: Applied surface thermodynamics
Description: This useful reference/text offers a thorough treatment of applied surface dynamics in relation to contact angles and surface tensions - providing a rigorous foundation for the subject and detailed presentations of the latest techniques.

Rooting discussions in the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, Applied Surface Thermodynamics examines the generalized theory of capillarity...the mechanics of axisymmetric multiphase systems...the thermodynamic status of contact angles and contact angle measurement...the determination of solid-liquid interfacial tensions...liquid surface tensions and the wettability of solid particles...and much more.

With nearly 1200 literature citations, tables, drawings, and photographs and some 900 equations, Applied Surface Thermodynamics is an excellent reference for physical, surface, colloid, and industrial chemists; physicists; geologists; materials scientists; and environmentalists; and an outstanding text for graduate-level and continuing-education students taking courses in surface thermodynamics or surface science.
