With its focus on surface charging in the presence of 1-1 electrolytes, this volume builds upon critical information first presented in Chemical Properties of Materials Surfaces, which is now considered an essential text. This new edition includes a wealth of new and updated material including recent findings on specific adsorption of multivalent ions, surfactants, and polymers. In addition to providing researchers with a series of invaluable tables directly and indirectly related to surface charging, it includes a reference section of over 3,000 original papers related to points of zero charge (PZC).

From the Preface: “...For each type of material (commercial, home-synthesized, natural, or ‘origin unknown’) the physical properties related to surface charging properties are reported when available. As many sources as possible (not limited to the papers reporting surface charging studies) have been used to obtain these data. The results from different sources are often scattered. In this respect, the present book presents more detailed data than previous compilations of PZCs/IEPs...”

Target Audience: Chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, and upper-level students concerned with surface charging and points of zero charge.
