The Properties of Water and their Role in Colloidal and Biological Systems

This book treats the physics-chemical and surface-thermodynamic properties of water that govern all polar interactions occurring in it. These properties include the water-air interface, the cluster of water, the electron-donation of the water The difference between hydration and pressure in the hydration pressure.
The book also deals on the properties of polar and non-covalent forces, ie, Lewis acid-base, as well as polar molecules, polymers, particles and cells, (AB), Lifshitz-van der Waals (LW) and electrical double layer (EL) interactions. The polar AB interactions, to represent the average interaction energies occurring in water. Thus the addition of AB energies to the LW + EL energies of the classical DLVO theory of energy vs. This is a powerful tool in the DLVO theory. The influence of the hydrophobic effect on the hydrophobic effect, the hydrophobic effect, immersed in water. These phenomena, which are typical for liquid water, the effect of all polar interactions that take place in it. All of them are treated to the view of the properties of the water, including the properties of ice, at 0o C.

- Explains and allows the quantitative measurement of hydrophobic attraction and hydrophilic repulsion in water
- Measures of the degree of cluster formation of water molecules
- Discusses the size of water molecules
- Treats the multitudinous effects of the hyper-hydrophobicity of the water-air interface
