Pore Scale Phenomena: Frontiers in Energy and Environment (World Scientific Series in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology)

Pore scale phenomena similarly play critical roles in the domain of materials science and biology. For example, many energy devices and membrane technologies are controlled by the physical and chemical properties of the pores. Identifying and analyzing the properties of these pores has emerged as a frontier of characterization science.

This book provides, for the first time, a comprehensive overview of the fascinating interrelationship between engineering and science. The authors and contributors are recognized experts from the faculty of the Colorado School of Mines, Northwestern and Stanford. This book will appeal to earth and environmental scientists, materials scientists, physicists and chemists.

Readership: Book will appeal to industry, universities and national labs in areas of national importance. The book also will help to identify some of the knowledge gaps and areas where new research is needed.
