Acorn books provide carefully levelled non-fiction to introduce key curriculum concepts. This series introduces some common materials and their properties. Includes notes for parents and teachers.

Unique view on producing metal nano supracrystals by differing their morphologies, crystalline structures, chemical, and physical properties  After presenting an overview on the various factors involved in producing metal supracrystals by differing their morphologies, crystalline structures, chemical, and physical properties, Metal Nano Supracrystals reveals the limitations faced by the system and the potential research required to improve the system. Readers will gain insight into the various...

The two-word title of this book can only give an indication about its content and approach to the subject it deals with. In the course of time, the term has gradually become somewhat blurred. The reason is easy to see: similar problems are now more and more frequently studied by different branches of natural science. The term "mixed crystals" has acquired specific connotations in physics, chemistry, biology, and geology. One and the same term can now serve as a name for things which are either n...

'This is a book for crystal chemistry lovers written by one of the pioneers of solid-state chemistry.'MRS BulletinDevoted to a diverse group of solid state scientists, the book has two objectives, both relating to structural chemistry: (i) a progressive analytic familiarization with the main parameters that govern the organization of crystallized matter and related crystal structures, (ii) a study of what are the various ways to 'read' a structure far beyond its representation in scientific arti...

Environmentally compatible polymers (green polymers) are the key to sustainable developments for our rich and convenient life. In order to develop green polymers, it is essential to understand that nature constructs a variety of materials that can be used. Plant materials such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are the largest organic resources. Thermal Properties of Green Polymers and Biocomposites is unique in that it introduces thermal analysis applicable to green polymers and provides fu...

Graphene is the thinnest known material, a sheet of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal cells a single atom thick, and yet stronger than diamond. It has potentially significant applications in nanotechnology, 'beyond-silicon' electronics, solid-state realization of high-energy phenomena and as a prototype membrane which could revolutionise soft matter and 2D physics. In this book, leading graphene research theorist Mikhail Katsnelson presents the basic concepts of graphene physics. Topics covered...

Das Lehrbuch fur Studenten des Faches Chemie im Grundstudium behandelt - je zur Halfte - theoretische Grundlagen und anorganische Stoffchemie. Es ist ausserdem fur alle Fachrichtungen wie z.B. Biochemie und Chemieingenieurwissenschaften geeignet, fur die solide Grundkenntnisse in anorganischer Chemie notwendig sind. Die graphische Gestaltung dient der Nutzung als Lehrbuch und als Repetitorium zur Prufungsvorbereitung. In der Neuauflage sind alle umwelttechnischen Daten aktualisiert und neu en...

Researchers in the fields of organic synthesis, pharmaceutical research as well as cosmetic and agrochemicals industries need to confirm the structures of products they obtain. This was previously a time-consuming a process that took up much time. Spectroscopic methods however, made it easier, and initially R and UV helped chemists conclude structures one way or another. Initially 1D NMR, 2D NMR and sophisticated NMR measurements like COESY and NOESY were of great assistance. We demonstrate prin...

There has been an explosion of interest in the study of molecular crystals, and their applications in optics and electronics. This advanced 1994 textbook describes their chemical and physical structure, their optical and electronic properties and the reactions between neighbouring molecules in crystals. The author has taken into account research areas which have undergone extremely rapid development since the first edition was published in 1987. For instance, this edition features the applicatio...

The volumes in this continuing series provide a compilation of current techniques and ideas in inorganic synthetic chemistry. Includes inorganic polymer syntheses and preparation of important inorganic solids, syntheses used in the development of pharmacologically active inorganic compounds, small-molecule coordination complexes, and related compounds. Also contains valuable information on transition organometallic compounds including species with metal-metal cluster molecules. All syntheses pre...

This book helps you discover the exciting, promising field of molecular level artificial photosynthesis. This special volume of "Progress in Inorganic Chemistry" presents the theory and practice of molecular artificial photosynthesis - a field holding tremendous promise now that molecular solar energy materials are fast becoming competitive with their solid-state counterparts. The only book on the market to address this important area of inorganic research, "Molecular Level Artificial Photosynth...

Since the discovery of X-ray diffraction in 1913 over 100.000 different inorganic substances (also called compounds or phases) have been structurally characterized. The information has been published in over 72.000 publications spread over 1.000 different scientific journals. The aim of this reference work is to provide the researcher with a comprehensive compilation on inorganic substances in only three volumes. The work resembles a phone directory and this is also the way it should be used: Li...

Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which...

A cosmic perspective on carbon—its importance in the universe and our livesWhen we think of carbon, we might first think of a simple element near the top of the periodic table: symbol C, atomic number 6. Alternatively, we might think of something more tangible—a sooty piece of coal or a sparkling diamond, both made of carbon. Or, as Earth’s temperature continues to rise alarmingly, we might think of the role carbon plays in climate change. Yet carbon’s story begins long ago, far from earthly con...
