Opis

A clear and intuitive introduction to the physics of charged macromolecules, from fundamentals to the latest research developments.

Recenzje

'An almost encyclopedic work on the physics of charged macromolecules, guiding the reader from concepts, theories, through different methodologies and all the way to complicated phenomenologies. An impressive tour-de-force and a must read at the intersection of soft matter and living matter communities.' Rudi Podgornik, Professor Emeritus, University of Ljubljana
