The book initially examines the theories behind p-conjugated materials and electron-lattice dynamics

A valuable resource for the modern chemistry field, the Handbook clearly details how measurements were conducted and methodically explains the nomenclature. It presents data essential for the production and use of polymers as well as for understanding the physical behavior and intermolecular interactions in polymer solutions.

This book illustrates how the latest advances make pyrolysis a practical, cost-effective, reliable, and flexible alternative for increasingly complex sample analyses. Applied Pyrolysis Handbook, Second Edition is an essential, one-stop guide for determining if pyrolysis meets application-specific needs as well as performing pyrolysis and handling the data obtained.

It is an invaluable resource for Organic and Pharmaceutical chemists.

Divided into three sections—Synthesis Methodologies of Silicones; Characterizing the Silicones; and the Applications of Silicones—the book starts by explaining various innovative techniques adopted by chemists for the synthesis of novel silicone materials. The featured examples include the syntheses of biologically safer silicones through the use of enzymes; the use of silicone modified epoxy coatings in controlling the corrosion and biofouling activities on metal alloys; the use of smart silicone nanoparticles in paint and coating systems; the effect of irradiation on silicone chemistry; biocompatible silicones; and the use of polydimethylsiloxane in the preparation of microfluidic devices.

In contrast, this book takes into account the thermodynamic forces due to separation of the thermodynamic parameters of the subsystem of particles (“hot” atoms) on the parameters of the thermostat (electrons and lattice), in addition to covering the various mechanisms of collisions.

Providing a thorough exploration of the multiplicity of interactions involved in an IPC system, this book emphasizes the progress from theoretical modeling to application. It explores the practical potential of IPC in the life science, medicine, pharmacology, forensic, food, and environmental sectors. It examines the upgrade of column technology and instrumentation to improve data quality and to increase sample throughput. The book also compares IPC to other instrumental methods of analysis and discusses the rising importance of the ion-pair concept in different analytical techniques.

With invited reviews written by leading international researchers, each presenting new results, it provides a single vehicle for following progress in this interdisciplinary area.
