Thermodynamics of solutions: from gases to pharmaceutics to proteins

Ivan L. Shulgin, Eli Ruckenstein (auth.)1441904395, 9781441904393

Thermodynamics of Solutions is a collection of papers published by Eli Ruckenstein and Ivan Shulgin concerning a broad spectrum of scientific topics regarding supercritical fluids, drugs, proteins, and other molecules of biomedical or environmental significance. The authors have collected and organized these papers into sections, and composed an introduction for each section. This book will be of interest to researchers working in chemical, pharmaceutical, biomedical, and environmental sciences.
