      Synthetic Polymer Chemistry provides a comprehensive, thoughtfully organized introduction to polymers and their physical properties, as well as different types of polymerization reactions. This book aims to explain the bridge between organic and polymer chemistry in an accessible manner, proving to be a helpful resource for an essential course that many students struggle to connect with. To help overcome this challenge and link the two disciplines in useful and exciting ways, this textbook emphasizes the connection between organic chemistry and polymer chemistry, and how knowledge of one can benefit the understanding of the other. This book helps students and researchers build a strong foundation of organic chemistry and polymer chemistry understanding so they can grasp the materials covered in advanced polymer chemistry. Polymer chemistry is an applied field that is present everywhere around us. As users of this book begin to perceive the importance of polymer chemistry in daily life, they are sure to be excited to explore more polymer chemistry methods that pique their interest. Synthetic Polymer Chemistry covers an array of integral topics, from the introduction of polymers and their physical properties to morphology (crystalline and amorphous phase) to molecular weights measurements and solubility. Different types of polymerization reactions (free radical, cationic, anionic condensation) based on organic reaction mechanisms are also discussed across various chapters in vivid detail. This text is ideal for courses in polymer chemistry, organic chemistry, materials science and engineering, and biomedical engineering.

      Cheminformatic Modelling and Data Gap Filling for a Green and Sustainable Environment covers the theory and practices of chemical informatics, focusing on modelling various properties and endpoints related to chemicals for improved chemical management and the design of safer chemicals to promote environmental sustainability. Across four sections, this book outlines modelling techniques such as quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR), read-across, and machine learning for modelling environmental endpoints of chemicals. OECD guidelines are discussed and considered for model development and validation, documentation using QSAR modelling reporting format (QMRF), and regulatory requirements for result presentation. This book offers full datasets, algorithm information and real-world case studies for all models and worked examples. This book will serve as an essential resource for chemists and environmental scientists working in green and sustainable chemistry, as well as students and academics at graduate level and above studying cheminformatics. This book will also be of interests for researchers working on developing new and sustainable chemicals and decision makers looking to make industrial processes more sustainable.

      Magnetic resonance now has a history exceeding 70 years. Not only has the range of applications of magnetic resonance-based techniques grown exponentially but so too has the literature. Consequently, a distillation and synthesis of the literature is in itself an extremely important research tool, providing an efficient means to take newcomers to the research frontiers and keeping experienced researchers aware of contemporary practice.Since 1968 Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy been at the vanguard of reviewing the magnetic resonance literature. Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy covers magnetic resonance in all its forms, including theory, experiment, applications, and interconnections with other techniques. It also provides the opportunity to make coherent aspects of magnetic resonance that were scattered and opaque. Historical articles are also welcomed.Potential authors are encouraged to consult with the Editor.William S. PriceWestern Sydney University, NSW, Australiae-mail address: w.price@westernsydne...
