Surface and Interfacial Aspects of Biomedical Polymers Volume 1 Surface Chemistry and Physics

This book is intended to provide a fundamental basis for the study of the interaction of polymers with living systems, biochemicals, and with aqueous solutions. The surface chemistry and physics of polymeric materials is a subject not normally covered to any significant extent in classical surface c...
