Description
Focusing on physiochemical aspects, this work provides an overview of biopolymer interfacial behaviour, advancing current understanding of the importance of protein adsorption in biophysical and biochemical processes, as well as the relevance of such phenomena in biomedicine. The text addresses fundamental aspects of biopolymer interfacial behaviour, such as adsorption kinetics, adsorbed layer structure and dynamics, interfacial orientation, effects of self-assembly on protein adsorption, interactions between biopolymer layers, and interfacial exchange.
