The Fractal Approach to Heterogeneous Chemistry: Surfaces, Colloids, PolymersD. Avnir Discusses applications of fractal geometry to chemical systems involving complex and highly irregular structures. These new mathematical techniques have particular applications in chromatographic adsorbents, colloidal systems, irregular surfaces, branched polymers, and many other areas of polymer, colloidal, and surface chemistry. |
