Principles of Physical Chemistry presents a novel approach to physical chemistry that emphasizes the use of a few fundamental principles to quantitatively describe the nature of molecules and their assemblies. It begins with atoms and molecules, using the electron-in-a-box model to illustrate the essential features of quantum mechanics and why atoms and molecules exist. Thermodynamics is not introduced in the classical manner, considering the first and second law as postulates, but approached by studying assemblies of molecules statistically. The authors proceed to molecular assemblies of increasing complexity, evolving from ideal gases to real gases and solutions, then to macromolecules and supramolecular machines, and ending with the search for the logical conditions and chemical requirements for physicochemical processes leading to life's origin, the emergence of matter that carries information. This text is ideal for both undergraduate and graduate courses in physical chemistry, providing a basis for understanding the nature of chemical processes in biology, chemistry, and engineering.

Fundamentals of Interfacial Engineering defines the newly emerging, cross-disciplinary field of interfacial engineering. It gives students a coherent, integrated approach to the field, while offering engineering instructors an excellent starting point for curriculum development. The text emphasizes the fundamental concepts underlying interfacial phenomena and how these concepts are reduced to practice in processing and manufacturing settings. Fundamentals of Interfacial Engineering is a useful introductory overview of senior-level undergraduate and first-year graduate students in chemical engineering, materials science, polymer science, and electronics engineering, as well as for industrial and government researchers seeking knowledge of interfacial phenomena across disciplinary lines.

An expanded, second‑edition guide to physicochemical hydrodynamics, blending rigorous theory with practical applications in engineering, materials science, biotechnology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology; includes student problems and a solutions manual.
