Health care and a health delivery system based on WBSN requires multidisciplinary research and development in biology, physiology, physics, chemistry, micro/nano-technologies, material sciences, industrial sectors like medical devices, electronics, microchips, technical textiles, and telecommunications and related engineering disciplines. Thus, a close interdisciplinary collaboration between biomedical sensors... 

We have briefly reviewed some concepts of molecular simulation techniques widely used in biological and physical chemistry fields but which remain not so well known in chemical engineering applications. In this work, the Lennard Jones parameters of the nitrile group -CN were optimised for the acetonitrile molecule and used with a MEP charge population analysis. Compared with experimental data, the results obtained show a good agreement and confirm the potentialities of this method in exploring macroscopic systems. The next step will then be to extend the research for other nitriles for which the data are insufficient and explore the transferability of the model developed for one nitrile molecule to other nitriles.

While apparent from the amount of work that can be reported, it is obvious that we really do not have a comprehensive view of the dynamics of polar solvation at liquid interfaces. Especially lacking are studies probing the inertial response to the dynamics of polar solvation occurring at interfaces. There is enormous room for growth in the entire field as there exist such an extensive range of interfaces that are important in chemistry, biology, and physics. We can look forward to more detailed studies on the vast array of available systems.
