In rigorous tutorials rather than literature reviews, scientists and engineers from the chemical and earth sciences and other disciplines discuss a wide range of topics relating to oxide surfaces. Among them are methods for quantifying adsorption and desorption of polymeric and non-polymeric solutes at the solution-oxide interface, the structure and properties of oxide surfaces as they are influenced by the composition of the contiguous phases of solution and solid oxide, nonaqueous-metal oxide interfaces, very controlled coating methods for solution-oxide interfaces with molecularly thin and homogeneous polymer films, and other aspects.
