The Chemistry and Physics of Engineering Materials ─ Modern Analytical Methodologies

This new volume focuses on modern analytic methodologies in the chemistry and physics of engineering materials that have potential for applications in several disciplines of engineering and science. Contributions range from new methods to novel applications of existing methods.

The collection of topics in this volume reflects the diversity of recent advances in chemistry and physics of engineering materials with a broad perspective that will be useful for scientists as well as for graduate students and engineers. This new book presents leading-edge research from around the world.

Topics in the book include:

‧ Methods for the quality of gas-filled polymer materials

‧ Radiometric measurements deposits of surface water

‧ Hydrophobic material-supported platinum catalysts

‧ Concepts of the physical chemistry of polymers in technologies and environment protection

‧ Application-able radicals for study of behavior of biological systems

‧ Surface-modified magnetic nanoparticles for cell labeling

‧ Sorption of industrial dyes by inorganic rocks from aqueous solutions

‧ Various methods for steel surface modification

‧ Recent advances in fire retardant composites

This volume is also sold as part of a two-volume set. Volume 2 focuses on the limitations, properties, and models of engineering materials.
