Model Membranes: From Biophysics to Materials Science
Wiley VCHSivumäärä: 300 sivuaAsu: Kovakantinen kirjaJulkaisuvuosi: 1996, 14.11.1996 (lisätietoa) Membranes are an important component of every living organism. They confine cells and control every interaction between cells and their environment. A central issue of membrane research is to characterize the complex structure of biomembranes and to develope model membranes with tailored properties for materials applications. The unique features of biomembranes have produced a strong and increasing interest in their structure and characterization. It is the aim of membrane research not only to understand how biomembranes work but to develop artificial membranes with tailored properties. Written by a leading expert in the field, this practically oriented book is an ideal reference for anyone working in or entering the field.
