Résumé

Up-to-date presentation of the developments in the theory of solutions since the 1950s.
Based on the Kirkwood-Buff theory of solutions - the most general, useful and powerful theoretical tool for studying liquid mixtures and solutions.
Based on statistical mechanics, it develops the relevant concepts in a tutorial and detailed way.
Includes abundant examples on each of the concepts that are presented in the

This book presents new and updated developments in the molecular theory of mixtures and solutions. It is based on the theory of Kirkwood and Buff which was published more than fifty years ago. This theory has been dormant for almost two decades. It has recently become a very powerful and general tool to analyze, study and understand any type of mixtures from the molecular, or the microscopic point of view. The traditional approach to mixture has been, for many years, based on the study of excess thermodynamic quantities. This provides a kind of global information on the system. The new approach provides information on the local properties of the same system. Thus, the new approach supplements and enriches our information on mixtures and solutions.

Readership: Researchers in any field of solution Chemistry, Physics or Biophysics. Graduate students in the field of thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, solutions, aqueous solutions, theoretical biochemistry and biophysics.
