The first book of its kind to introduce the fundamentals, basic features and models, potential applications and novel phenomena and its important applications in liquid crystal technology. Recognized leader in the field Gaetano Assanto outlines the peculiar characteristics of nematicons and the promise they have for the future growth of this captivating new field.
Nematicons
A pioneer in the field presents the first book on nematicons, spatial optical solitons in nematic liquid crystals Little more than a decade after they were first demonstrated, nematicons have become an important area of research worldwide. This wide-ranging introduction is the first comprehensive collection of scientific work on optical spatial solitons in nematic liquid crystals, where they have been observed at powers of the order of milliwatts or lower, and have shown remarkable and peculiar features as compared to solitons in other media.

Chemistry and Chemical Technologies in Waste Valorization
Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.

Biological Fluid-surface Interactions in Detection and Medical Devices
Andres de los Santos Pereira, Cesar Rodriguez-Emmenegger, Christophe Blaszykowski, Michael Thompson, Sonia SheikhWith development of implants and in vivo detection devices comes the complication of the interaction between the materials used in the devices and biological fluids. This book examines these interactions causing fouling in biosensors and the serious issue of thrombus formation. The chemistry of surface-protein and surface-cell interactions is considered, the coatings and strategies re the avoidance of fouling are compared and the expert contributors provide a comprehensive look at the physical chemistry of the implant surface and the fouling problem.

The Chemistry of Human Nature
The chemistry of the body is not only fascinating but also highly relevant to everyone, since we are all concerned with maximising our health and enjoyment of life. Currently, there are not many popular science books concerned with biochemistry. One reason for this might be the particularly complex nature of the science involved. This book starts with the fundamentals and then works towards a deeper understanding of the chemistry of human nature. Essential reading for anyone with an interest in this science and written at a level accessible to experts and non-experts alike.
