  • Voids in Materials

    From Unavoidable Defects to Designed Cellular Materials
    • 2nd Edition

    • English
      All materials have voids in them, at some scale. Sometimes the voids are ignored, sometimes they are taken into account, and other times they are the focal point of the research. Voids in Materials: From Unavoidable Defects to Designed Cellular Materials takes due notice of all these occurrences, whether designed or unavoidable defects. We define, categorize, and characterize the voids (or empty spaces in materials) and we analyze the effects they have on material properties. This second edition is an updated and expanded central reference for voids in materials and covers all types of voids, intrinsic and intentional, and stochastic and nonstochastic, and the processes and conditions that are needed to create them and is a valuable resource to students in the areas of mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, physics, and chemistry, as well as scientists, researchers, and engineers in industry.

    • English
    Advances in Triazole Chemistry reviews the ever-widening scope of triazole chemistry. Triazole is an exceptional structural motif with a range of applications across scientific disciplines, including materials science, organocatalysis, agrochemicals, and medicinal chemistry. These many applications of different classes of triazoles have promoted the development of a range of synthetic strategies over the past few years, which are presented here along with recent and ecofriendly methods for the synthesis of all types of triazoles. The book also reviews the recent notable applications in chemical ligation, peptidomimetics, carbohydrate chemistry, nanotechnology, and polymer and materials science. This comprehensive resource is ideal for researchers using triazoles in various disciplines, as well as chemists working in the pharmaceutical, polymer, and agrochemical industries.
  • Particulates Matter

    Impact, Measurement, and Remediation of Airborne Pollutants
    • 1st Edition

    • English
    A title in the Emerging Issues in Analytical Chemistry series, Particulates Matter: Impact, Measurement, and Remediation of Airborne Pollutants provides the latest technical findings in the study of particulate matter (PM). It links these findings to awareness-raising and actionable schemes for legislated remediation and engineered solutions. Written in an engaging and informative manner, the book begins with a multi-disciplinary overview of the major sources and unique classes of PM, detection techniques, and their impact, including molecular changes resulting in health effects. It then goes one step further by proposing and examining the means to curtail and contain PM generation and ameliorate their impacts. Particulates Matter: Impact, Measurement, and Remediation of Airborne Pollutants offers a high-quality reference guide to PM that will greatly benefit technology leaders in environmental compliance groups, epidemiologists and other public health professionals focused on pollution and health, and researchers and scholars working in pollution, climate change, and urbanization. It may also be useful to advanced undergraduate and early graduate students in environmental sciences.
