Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Semiconducting polymers are of great interest for applications in electroluminescent devices, solar cells, batteries and diodes. In recent years vast advances have been made in the area of controlled synthesis of semiconducting polymers, specifically polythiophenes. Edited by one of the leaders in the area of polythiophene synthesis, this new book will bring the field up to date with more recent models for understanding semiconducting polymers. The book is separated into two main sections, the first will introduce the advances made in polymer synthesis, and the second chapter will focus on the microstructure and property analysis that has been enabled because of the recent advances in synthetic strategies. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The global generation of power depends heavily on coal-fired power plants, and industrial processes such as the production of cement or iron emit CO2 as an intrinsic part of the process. As fossil fuels will remain part of the global energy mix for some time, developing carbon capture and storage technologies is becoming increasingly important for reducing carbon emissions. Topics covered include a review of the technologies likely to be deployed in the first generation of carbon capture and storage plants; potential technologies for CO2 capture, such as metal-organic frameworks and nanoparticle-organic hybrid materials; recent advances in modelling, including thermodynamic theories; and end uses for CO2, such as fuels, building materials and plastics. This Faraday Discussion brings together researchers working on new potential carbon capture materials and processes, physical properties of CO2 and gas mixtures, carbon dioxide utilisation and process engineers looking at incorporating new technologies into viable carbon capture and storage processes. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Anisotropy at the nanoscale is a critical factor in the mechanical, optical, electronic, and magnetic properties of nanoparticles. As the field of nanoparticle synthesis and application matures, there is an increasing need for the design of novel and more complex nanosized objects. This Faraday Discussion presents the use of anisotropy as a tool to design, organize and provide special functions to varied nanoparticles.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Metal chelators are emerging as versatile tool with many medical applications. Their versatility allows them to be used in chelation therapy for treating diseases caused by toxic and heavy metal poisoning, chelating agents are capable of binding to toxic metal ions to form complex structures which are easily excreted from the body removing them from intracellular or extracellular spaces. In addition, metal chelators can also be applied as contrast agents in MRI scanning. Metal Chelation in Medicine provides a clear and timely perspective on the role of chelating agents in the management of metal intoxications and storage diseases. Written by leaders in the field of chelators, this publication is at the cutting-edge of the subject. It covers a broad range of topics such as the use of metal chelators in non-invasive assessment of brain iron overload, and the treatment of systemic iron overload and neurodegenerative diseases. As such it is particularly valuable to clinicians treating metal poisonings and metal storage diseases. However, it is also a useful text for researchers, industry professionals and university students with a specific interest in medicinal chemistry, chelation, metal ions, imaging and non-invasive techniques.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Biosensors are increasingly being used to replace traditional methods of analyte detection in the food industry. They offer a much quicker, more reliable and more versatile method for the detection of toxins, allergens, hormones, microorganisms, pesticides and other related compounds.
