Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Volume 4: Experimental Techniques and Methodical Developments provides a detailed yet easy-to-follow treatment of various techniques useful for characterizing the structure and properties of engineering materials. This timely volume provides an overview of new methods and presents experimental research in applied chemistry using modern approaches. Each chapter describes the principle of the respective method as well as the detailed procedures of experiments with examples of actual applications and then goes on to demonstrate the advantage and disadvantages of each physical technique. Thus, readers will be able to apply the concepts as described in the book to their own experiments.

The book is broken into several subsections:
  • Polymer Chemistry and Technology
  • Computational Approaches
  • Clinical Chemistry and Bioinformatics
  • Special Topics
This volume presents research and reviews and information on implementing and sustaining interdisciplinary studies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Key features:
  • highlights some important areas of current interest in applied chemistry and chemical engineering
  • provides an up-to-date and thorough exposition of the present state of the art of applied chemistry and chemical engineering
  • describes the types of techniques now available to engineers and technicians, and discusses their capabilities, limitations and applications
  • provides a balance between materials science and chemical aspects, basic and applied research, and high technology and high volume (low cost) composite development.
  • explains modification methods for changing of different materials properties
  • presents and reviews the necessary theoretical and background details
  • provides a detailed description of the experiment to be conducted and how the data could be tabulated and interpreted
