A comprehensive volume on interfacial catalysis, this book includes contributions from an international group of specialists in chemistry, environmental science, informatics, physiology, nuclear energy, and physics. The editor has organized the material into the main topics of fundamental characteristics, phase transfer catalysis, reversed micelles, biological aspects, and interfacial photocatalysis. Individual topics include self-organized microheterogeneous structures, nanochemistry, interfacial catalysis in metal complexation, the role of water molecules in ion transfer at the oil/water interface, and ultrathin films in enhanced oil recovery.
