The aim of this handbook is to summarize the recent development in the topic of ultrasonics and sonochemistry, especially in the areas of functional materials and processing applications. This handbook will benefit the readers as a full and quick technical reference with a high-level historic review of technology, detailed technical descriptions and the latest practical applications. This handbook is divided into five main sections: fundamentals of ultrasonics and sonochemistry, biomaterials, fo...

This book has been written to address many of the developments since the 1st Edition which have improved how companies survey and select new sites, evaluate acquisitions, or expand their existing facilities. This book updates the appendices containing both the recommended separation distances and the checklists to help the teams obtain the information they need when locating the facility within a community, when arranging the processes within the facility, and when arranging the equipment within...

This series of three books reviews and documents the recent advances in research and application of this relatively new and emerging technology, the problems remaining to be solved and the directions of future research and development in surface engineering. Volume I, "Fundamentals of Coatings" considers principles of coatings/substrate design in high temperature and aqueous corrosion and wear environments, and scans the coatings spectrum from organic, through metallic to inorganic. Volume II co...

This fifth edition provides information on techniques needed to analyze foods for chemical and physical properties. The book is ideal for undergraduate courses in food analysis and is also an invaluable reference to professionals in the food industry. General information chapters on regulations, labeling, sampling, and data handling provide background information for chapters on specific methods to determine chemical composition and characteristics, physical properties, and objectionable matte...

This book covers a multidisciplinary research field that combines materials chemistry and physics with nanotechnology and applied energy sciences. On the one hand, it includes introductory chapters on carbon nanomaterials (including synthesis, modification and characterization) and on composites and hybrids (definition and principles). On the other hand, it also provides a critical overview of the present state of research, discussing materials challenges and various energy applications as well...

THE CURRENT STATE OF THE ART of waterborne polymers, paints, coatings, inks and printing processes is presented in this volume. This is the third volume in the series on waterborne coating and printing technology. It documents several invited papers and the proceedings of the International Symposium on Surface Phenomena and Latexes in Waterborne Coatings and printing Technology sponsored by the Fine Particle Society (FPS). The FPS meeting was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, July 13-17, 1992. The volu...

Examines the interaction of lipid oxidation and Maillard reaction for the generation of flavour compounds. Features new isolation and analysis techniques, including dynamic headspace analysis, to evaluate flavours generated from lipid-containing foods. Discusses the effects of processing and storage on the flavours of processed foods. Examines the generation of flavours from lipoxygenase pathways and the production of flavours by biotechnology.

Rational synthesis of extended arrays of organic matter in bulk, solution, crystals, and thin films has always been a paramount goal of chemistry. The classical synthetic tools to obtain long-range regularity are, however, limited to noncovalent interactions, which usually yield structurally more random products. Hence, a combination of porosity and regularity in organic covalently bonded materials requires not only the design of molecular building blocks that allow for growth into a nonperturbe...

Provides an overview of materials chemistry - the chemistry related to the preparation, processing, and/or analysis of materials. Covers a range of materials types as well as various approaches to their preparation and study. Includes chapters on key frontier areas of research, ranging from oxide superconductors to polymers and biomaterials and from chemical vapor deposition to scanning tunnelling microscopy. Offers contributions from many of the leading scientists, engineers, educators, and pol...

PETROLEUM REFINING With no new refineries having been built in decades, companies continue to build onto or reverse engineer and re-tool existing refineries. With so many changes in the last few years alone, books like this are very much in need. There is truly a renaissance for chemical and process engineering going on right now across multiple industries. This fifth and final volume in the “Petroleum Refining Design and Applications Handbook” set, this book continues the most up-to-date and...

For the first time, distinguished scientists from key institutions worldwide provide a comprehensive approach to optical sensing techniques employing the phenomenon of guided wave propagation for chemical and biosensors. This includes both state-of the-art fundamentals and innovative applications of these techniques. The authors present a deep analysis of their particular subjects in a way to address the needs of novice researchers such as graduate students and post-doctoral scholars as well as...

The increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the decrease of the available amount of fossil fuels necessitate finding new alternative and sustainable energy sources in the near future. This book summarizes the role and the possibilities of catalysis in the production of new energy carriers and in the utilization of different energy sources. The main goal of this work is to go beyond those results discussed in recent literature by identifying new developments that may lead to breakthrou...
