Preface
This volume of "Water-A Comprehensive Treatise" is devoted to aqueous
solutions of macromolecules and aqueous systems of small molecules which
exhibit reversible aggregation in solution. This latter type of behavior is
closely linked with the hydrophobic interaction and a chapter devoted to
this subject is therefore included in the volume.
As the volumes constituting this treatise progress from pure water
through solutions of simple molecules to the present volume, the level of
our understanding of observed phenomena decreases and the experimental
and theoretical techniques available become less adequate to provide the
detailed information required. Thus, for example, we have so far been unable
to include the generally acknowledged solvent effects in conformational
calculations on biopolymers. On the credit side, however, some of the in
formation gained from the study of simple aqueous solutions and water
by itself is now beginning to find application in the elucidation of the
properties of the systems discussed in this volume.
Perhaps an editorial explanation is required for lack of uniformity
of approach by the various contributing authors, but this is primarily due
to the historical development of the subjects covered. Thus the study of
lipids, nucleotides, proteins, and polysaccharides originated in the biological
disciplines where water has always been accepted as the natural substrate,
even though its role in promoting the various in vivo processes has only
recently been recognized. On the other hand the subject of aqueous solutions
of synthetic macromolecules has grown out of classical polymer physics
and chemistry where water as a solvent is generally avoided, and for good
reasons. It is nevertheless my view that water-soluble and water-sensitive
polymers have considerable technological potential and it is my hope that
the material collected in this volume may help in the exploitation of these
interesting substances.
All the subjects covered by this book are still in a state of rapid develop
ment so that much of what is written here may look out of date two years
v
vi Preface
from now. It is nevertheless my hope that the approaches taken by the
authors will provide new slants on well established phenomena.
Once again my thanks are due first and foremost to Mrs. Joyce Johnson
for her invaluable and cheerful help with preparation of manuscripts,
mdexing, checking references, and communicating with authors and pub
lishers. I should also like to thank my colleagues and many friends in the
"International Water Fraternity" for advice and guidance.
