The aim of this book is to provide the reader with a modern  presentation of ionic solutions at interfaces, for physical chemists,  chemists and theoretically oriented experimentalists in this field.  The discussion is mainly on the structural and thermodynamic  properties, in relation to presently available statistical mechanical  models. Some dynamic properties are also presented, at a more  phenomenological level.   The initial chapters are devoted to the presentation of some basic  concepts for bulk properties: hydrodynamic interactions,  electrostatics, van der Waals forces and thermodynamics of ionic  solutions in the framework of a particular model: the mean spherical  approximation (MSA). Specific features of interfaces are then  discussed: experimental techniques such as in-situ X-ray diffraction,  STM and AFM microscopy are described. Ions at liquid/air, liquid/metal  and liquid/liquid interfaces are considered from the experimental and  theoretical viewpoint. Lastly some dynamic (transport) properties are  included, namely the self-diffusion and conductance of small colloids  (polyelectrolytes and micelles) and the kinetics of solute transfer at  free liquid/liquid interfaces.
