Download Drops and Bubbles in Contact with Solid Surfaces by Michele Ferrari (ed.), Libero Liggieri (ed.), Reinhard PDF

By Michele Ferrari (ed.), Libero Liggieri (ed.), Reinhard Miller (ed.)

The 3rd quantity in a chain devoted to colloids and interfaces, Drops and Bubbles involved with strong Surfaces provides an up to date evaluate of the basics and functions of drops and bubbles and their interplay with sturdy surfaces. The chapters disguise the theoretical and experimental facets of wetting and wettability, liquid–solid interfacial houses, and spreading dynamics on various surfaces, together with a unique part on polymers.

The publication examines concerns concerning interpretation of touch perspective from nano to macro structures. professional participants speak about attention-grabbing peculiarities, comparable to the phenomena of super-spreading and super-hydrophobicity. They speak about particular sturdy surfaces—for instance, reactions and wetting of liquid metals at excessive temperatures—and the interplay among nano-bubbles at sturdy floor and nano-particles at liquid interfaces. The e-book additionally incorporates a bankruptcy on electro-wetting.

Given the variety of subject matters coated during this quantity, the state-of-art content material comes in handy to readers searching for an introductory evaluate in addition to these searching for in-depth exploration of fabric on the topic of the interplay of fluids with sturdy surfaces. it's a priceless contribution to the sphere of characterization of good surfaces and will be used as a operating software or to stimulate additional research for researchers and scholars.

Transplantation Pathology: A Guide for Practicing Pathologists

Normal pathologists see many biopsies from transplanted organs yet few are in sufficiently big centres in order that this varieties the majority in their paintings. The booklet describes the alterations that are saw in transplantation in the entire significant organ structures which are many times transplanted and there are money owed of the pathology of infections and of the immunological problems which are confronted through those sufferers.

Coupling of Biological and Electronic Systems: Proceedings of the 2nd caesarium, Bonn, November 1–3, 2000

The coupling of organic and digital structures has some time past few years emerged as a box of accelerating value. Achievements just like the cardiac pacemaker have cleared the path for extra subtle techniques, comparable to the lab-on-a-chip and DNA pcs. This ebook provides reports on one of the most promising tasks during this interdisciplinary study box, protecting subject matters from bioinformatics to biosensor expertise.

Introduction A great number of industrial processes and practical applications are based on wetting and spreading. Understanding these phenomena is crucial in designing many pharmaceutical, agricultural and bio-medical products, such as herbicides and pesticides, paints and coatings, as well as ink-jet printers and lung-surfactants. Although this interesting topic has been studied for over two centuries, there are still certain underlying mechanisms waiting to be revealed.
