This book discusses recent developments in renewable and sustainable materials from a green technology perspective and how these materials interact with the environment. It highlights the fundamental processes involved in the production of renewable and sustainable materials, including chemical and biological approaches as well as these materials' potential application as green technological option. Written in a didactic style, it offers a guide and insights into renewable and sustainable materi...

This volume aims at bringing together the results of extensive research done during the last fifteen years on the interfacial photoelectronic properties of the inorganic layered semiconducting materials, mainly in relation to solar energy conversion. Significant contributions have been made both on the fundamental aspects of interface characteristics and on the suitability of the layered materials in photoelectrochemical (semiconductor/electrolyte junctions) and in solid state photovoltaic(Schot...

2018 Pest Control for Professional Turfgrass Managers contains the latest information on pesticides used to control turfgrass pests. This volume covers a wide array of topics including commercial turf insects; chemical weed control; tolerance of established cool-season and warm-season turfgrasses to herbicides; controlling broadleaf weeds; turfgrass diseases; nematicides for turf; growth regulators; aquatic weed control; and integrated pest management. Updated annually, this is a valuable resour...

This work gives a broad and detailed overview of charge transport in organic semiconductors. The author discusses strategies for linking the chemical composition and morphology of organic layers to charge carrier mobility and current-voltage characteristics of a device. Concepts for simulation-based predictions of material characteristics are presented starting from chemical structures.

This book focuses on the widely used experimental techniques available for the structural, morphological, and spectroscopic characterization of materials. Recent developments in a wide range of experimental techniques and their application to the quantification of materials properties are an essential side of this book. Moreover, it provides concise but thorough coverage of the practical and theoretical aspects of the analytical techniques used to characterize a wide variety of functional nanoma...

It is estimated that a large fraction of natural gas reserves are found in locations from where transport is not economical. If these isolated natural gas reserves could be converted to synthetic fuels, they would generate around 250 billion barrels of synthetic oil-a quantity equal to one-third of the Middle East's proven oil reserves. Small-Scale Gas to Liquid Fuel Synthesis explores next-generation technologies geared toward overcoming the significant cost and technical barriers prohibiting...

Updated to reflect the most recent tests, this manual presents two diagnostic tests and three full-length practice tests, all with questions answered and explained. A chemistry review covers the structure of matter, chemical bonding, states of matter, physical chemistry, chemical reactions, and all other topics tested on the Advanced Placement test.

Proceedings of the 20th International Cryogenic Engineering Conference

This volume contains the proceedings of a meeting entitled 'Nonlinear Oscillations in Biology and Chemistry', which was held at the University of Utah May 9-11,1985. The papers fall into four major categories: (i) those that deal with biological problems, particularly problems arising in cell biology, (ii) those that deal with chemical systems, (iii) those that treat problems which arise in neurophysiology, and (iv), those whose primary emphasis is on more general models and the mathematical tec...

Dieses Werk zu Liebigs 200. Geburtstag setzt die Schwerpunkte auf Liebigs eigene Ausbildung und die von ihm entwickelte weitreichende Schule der Chemie. Viele seiner Schuler werden bedeutende Wissenschaftler, Hochschullehrer, wissenschaftliche Schriftsteller und Industriechemiker. Sie kommen nicht nur aus Deutschland sondern aus vielen Landern Europas, und sogar aus Nord- und Sudamerika. Anhand der veroeffentlichten Selbstzeugnisse Liebigs, seines umfangreichen Briefwechsels mit WOEHLER, BERZELI...
