Liquid-State Physical Chemistry Fundamentals, Modeling And Applications

This is the only comprehensive introduction to this central topic and thus a must-have for many chemists, chemical engineers and material scientists.
The book describes the behavior of liquids and solutions and their simplest applications in a basic and self-contained way.
The author has extensive experience from research in areas where the theoretical concepts of liquids are applied and adopts here a clear, well-structured approach to provide an excellent overview of pure liquids, simple non-electrolyte, electrolyte and polymeric solutions, as well as the most important types of reaction.
Suitable as an introductory text as well as on an intermediate level, since the more advanced parts are clearly marked.

Gijsbertus de With is full professor in materials science. He graduated from Utrecht State University and received his PhD in 1977 from the
University of Twente on the 'Structure and charge distribution of molecular crystals'. In the same year he joined Philips Research
Laboratories, Eindhoven. In 1985 he was appointed part-time professor and in 1996 he became full professor at the Eindhoven University
of Technology. Since 2006 he is also chairman of the Soft Matter CryoTEM Research Unit. His research interests cover structural and
interfacial phenomena in relation to the processing and behavior of multi-phase materials. He has (co)-authored more than 250 research
papers and holds about 20 patents. He is a member of the Advisory board of the J. Eur. Ceram. Soc. and is presently co-organizer of the
annual Coatings Science International conferences. In 2006 his twovolume monograph Structure, Deformation, and Integrity of Materials
was published.
