Physical Chemistry of Polyelectrolyte Solutions

The Advances in Chemical Physics series provides the chemical physics field with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. This volume explores topics from Thermodynamic Properties of Polyelectrolyte Solutions to ion-binding of polyelectrolytes. The book features:

• The only series of volumes available that presents the cutting edge of research in chemical physics

• Contributions from experts in this field of research

• Representative cross-section of research that questions established thinking on chemical solutions

• An editorial framework that makes the book an excellent supplement to an advanced graduate class in physical chemistry or chemical physics
