Physical Chemistry Research for Engineering and Applied Sciences, Volume One : Principles and Technological Implications

The aim of this book is to provide both a rigorous view and a more practical, understandable view of industrial chemistry and biochemical physics. This book is geared toward readers with both direct and lateral interest in the discipline. This volume is structured into different parts devoted to industrial chemistry and biochemical physics and their applications. Every section of the book has been expanded, where relevant, to take account of significant new discoveries and realizations of the importance of key concepts. Furthermore, emphases are placed on the underlying fundamentals and on acquisition of a broad and comprehensive grasp of the field as a whole.

With contributions from experts from both the industry and academia, this book presents the latest developments in the identified areas. This book incorporates appropriate case studies, explanatory notes, and schematics for more clarity and better understanding.

This new book:

• Highlights some important areas of current interest in biochemical physics and chemical processes

• Focuses on topics with more advanced methods

• Emphasizes precise mathematical development and actual experimental details

• Analyzes theories to formulate and prove the physicochemical principles

• Provides an up-to-date and thorough exposition of the present state of the art of complex materials
