'Coulombic Fluids' explores bulk and interfacial physico-chemical characteristics of various fluid systems dominated by Coulomb interactions. Topics include molten salts, ionic liquids as well as metal-molten salt mixtures and expanded fluid metals.

Ionic liquids have attracted considerable interest in recent years. In this book the bulk and interfacial physico-chemical characteristics of various fluid systems dominated by Coulomb interactions are treated which includes molten salts, ionic liquids as well as metal-molten salt mixtures and expanded fluid metals. Of particular interest is the comparison of the different systems. Topics in the bulk phase concern the microscopic structure, the phase behaviour and critical phenomena, and the metal-nonmetal transition. Interfacial phenomena include wetting transitions, electrowetting, surface...
