Nanotechnology, drug delivery based

In the past decades, it has become more and more obvious that students and scientists of chemistry and engineering should have some understanding of surface and colloid chemistry. The textbooks on physical chemistry tend to introduce this subject insufficiently. Modern nanotechnology is another area where the role of surface and chemistry is found of much importance. Medical diagnostics applications are also extensive, where both microscale and surface reactions are determined by different aspects of surface and colloid chemical principles. Drug delivery is much based on lipid vesicles (self-assembly structure) that are stabilized by various surface forces.
