Chemistry: The Impure Science by
Call Number: eBookISBN: 1848168292Publication Date:What do you associate with chemistry? Explosions, innovative materials, plastics, pollution? The public’s confused and contradictory conception of chemistry as basic science, industrial producer and polluter contributes to what we present in this book as chemistry’s image as an impure science. Historically, chemistry has always been viewed as impure both in terms of its academic status and its role in transforming modern society.
Chemistry of High-Energy Materials by
Call Number: eBookISBN: 311053651XPublication Date:The 4th revised edition expands on the basic chemistry of high energy materials of the precious editions and examines new research developments, including hydrodynamics and ionic liquids. Applications in military and civil fields are discussed.
Chemistry Versus Physics by
Call Number: eBookISBN: 9814291218Publication Date:Chemical reactions at high pressures are widely used in modern technology (supercritical extraction is an example). On the other hand, critical phenomena is the more advanced field in statistical mechanics. There are thousands of theoretical and experimental articles published by physicists, chemists, biologists, chemical engineers and material scientists, but, to our knowledge, there are no books which link these two phenomena together. This book sums up the results of 222 published articles, both theoretical and experimental, which will be of great benefit to students and all researchers working in this field.
Extended-Nano Fluidic Systems for Chemistry and Biotechnology by
Call Number: eBookISBN: 1848168012Publication Date:In this book, we describe the fundamental technologies for extended-nano space and show the unique liquid properties found in this space and applications for single-molecule or cell analysis.
Organophosphorus Chemistry by
Call Number: eBookISBN: 1849732817Publication Date:Organophosphorus Chemistry provides a comprehensive and critical review of the recent literature. Coverage includes phosphines and their chalcogenides, phosphonium salts, low-coordination-number phosphorus compounds, penta- and hexa- coordinated compounds, quiquevalent phosphorus acids, nucleotides and nucleic aicds, ylides and related compounds, phosphazenes and the application of physical methods in the study of organophosphorus compounds.
Radiochemistry and Nuclear Chemistry by
Call Number: eBookISBN: 1299941206Publication Date:Radiochemistry or nuclear chemistry is the study of radiation from an atomic and molecular perspective, including elemental transformation and reaction effects, as well as physical, health and medical properties. This revised edition of one of the earliest and best-known books on the subject has been updated to bring into teaching the latest developments in research and the current hot topics in the field.
Understanding Chemistry by
