{"product_id":"breath-figures-juan-rodrguez-hern-ndez-9783030511357","title":"Breath Figures: Mechanisms of Multi-Scale Patterning and Strategies for Fabrication and Applications of Microstructured Functional Por","description":"This book offers a complete and concise overview of the different strategies used to prepare microstructured surfaces employing information regarding surface instabilities and physical processes. Based upon the concept of the remarkably uniform layer of water vapor that is applied when one simply breathes onto a surface in cold temperatures, the book presents a comprehensive treatise addressing chemical and physical fundamentals, fabrication, and applications of the breath figures approach to surface wetting, coating, and modification (breath figures self-assembly) of various materials. The main topics of the book are divided into six parts: the control of surface properties in polymer blends; block copolymer design with the aim of providing order at different lengths; combination of block copolymer blends with the breath figures (BFs); dynamic templating; the breath figures method; biorecognition; and alternative approaches for surface structuring and functionalization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses various physical processing methods in preparing microstructured surfaces;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes relevant aspects of micro- and nanostructured surfaces from fabrication to final applications, including additive manufacturing, bacterial adhesion and entrapment, optical and electro-optical applications, and membrane technology; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetails the breath figures approach to surface structuring while discussing alternative strategies that tie morphology to functionality of materials. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juan Rodr?uez-Hern疣dez, Edward Bormashenko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030511359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030511357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 7.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Juan Rodr?uez-Hern疣dez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149102477567,"sku":"9783030511357","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0a7cb5f-b169-4c75-b0a6-dfcb12d01d91.jpg?v=1688454845","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/breath-figures-juan-rodrguez-hern-ndez-9783030511357","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
