Polymer Solutions: An Introduction to Physical Properties offers a fresh, inclusive approach to teaching the fundamentals of physical polymer science. Students, instructors, and professionals in polymer chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, engineering, materials, and textiles will find Iwao Teraoka’s text at once accessible and highly detailed in its treatment of the properties of polymers in the solution phase. Teraoka’s purpose in writing Polymer Solutions is twofold: to familiarize the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate student with basic concepts, theories, models, and experimental techniques for polymer solutions; and to provide a reference for researchers working in the area of polymer solutions as well as those in charge of chromatographic characterization of polymers. The author’s incorporation of recent advances in the instrumentation of size-exclusion chromatography, the method by which polymers are analyzed, renders the text particularly topical. Subjects discussed include: Real, ideal, Gaussian, semirigid, and branched polymer chains Polymer solutions and thermodynamics Static light scattering of a polymer solution Dynamic light scattering and diffusion of polymers Dynamics of dilute and semidilute polymer solutions Study questions at the end of each chapter not only provide students with the opportunity to test their understanding, but also introduce topics relevant to polymer solutions not included in the main text. With over 250 geometrical model diagrams, Polymer Solutions is a necessary reference for students and for scientists pursuing a broader understanding of polymers.

This valuable resource covers the principles of analytical instrumentation used by today's chemists and biologists and presents important advances in instrumentation, such as the drive to miniaturise and lab-on-a-chip devices. In terms of the lab-based analytical instrumentation, the five main categories of technique—spectroscopic, chromatographic, electrochemical, imaging and thermoanalytical, are included and presented in a practical, not theoretical way. Including relevant examples and applications in a number of fields such as healthcare, environment and pharmaceutical industry this book provides a complete overview of the instruments used within the chemistry industry, making this an important tool for professionals and students alike.

Zwei ereignisreiche Jahrhunderte liegen zwischen der Geburt der modernen Chemie um das Jahr 1800 und der Chemie des dritten Jahrtausends. Wahrend dieser Zeitspanne ist die Chemie von einem Kuriosum fur wenige Eingeweihte zu einem unverzichtbaren Motor der wissenschaftlichen und technischen Entwicklung geworden. Die Chemie hat Hungernote abgewendet (so in Japan in den 1950er Jahren) und Umweltkatastrophen ausgelost (wie nach der Freisetzung von Dioxin im italienischen Seveso 1976). Der Autor des vorliegenden Buches, selbst ein promovierter Chemiker, hat unvoreingenommen und mit einem Blick fur die historische Dimension die Entwicklung dieser faszinierenden Wissenschaft protokolliert. Ob es um die erste wissenschaftlich exakte Darstellung der alkoholischen Garung, die Entdeckung des Aspirins, der Azofarbstoffe oder der Hochtemperatur-Supraleitung geht – die epochemachenden Entdeckungen und Entwicklungen aus der gesamten Chemie sind hier in 1000 kurzen Artikeln zusammengefasst, chronologisch geordnet und mit den Namen der jeweils beteiligten Manner und Frauen verknupft. Zu jeden Eintrag sind zusatzlich die wichtigsten Zitate aus der chemischen Originalliteratur angegeben, als Ausgangspunkt fur eigene Recherchen. Wer nach verlasslichen und gut aufbereiteten Informationen uber die Geschichte der Chemie sucht, kommt an diesem Werk nicht vorbei. «nicht nur eine Zusammenfassung wichtiger chemischer Fakten, sondern auch ein Stuck Kulturgeschichte.» (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)

Brother and sister Robert and Rita are just as curious as other children. That is why they have to explore the snake cave, the entrance to which they have rediscovered by chance. After school they sneak off to have many an adventure inside the cave. Not only do thy come across such animals as spiders, foxes, toads and owls, but also a treasure trove and strange graffiti on the walls. This is when they both turn into detectives: Who used to live in the cave? And even the police have to be called when a skeleton is discovered. Gripping entertainment for young readers from 10 onwards. Alongside the well told horror story, topics on nature and history are covered in their own boxes and accompanied by many line drawings. Complete with cross references and recommended further reading.

How safe is safe enough? We live in a world that is totally dependent on chemicals, be they agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, colorants – it is vitally important that we adopt a sustainable strategy for an environment containing some 11 million chemicals. This book provides a pragmatic guide to the basic tools of chemical safety assessment, from information retrieval, through hazard and risk assessment to safety evaluation and legal aspects. It is truly global in coverage with contributors drawn from East and West, North and South. It covers natural and artificial hazards to the environment, including the potentially catastrophic effects of modern warfare, and encompasses pollution of air, water and soil as well as occupational exposure to chemicals. Everyone with a professional interest in pollution control will find this an invaluable source of information – chemists, environmental scientists, chemical engineers, political scientists, toxicologists, ecotoxicologists, in industry, academia, government departments and international agencies – all will be guided and challenged by the wealth of knowledge it contains.
