Innovations in Physical Chemistry: Monograph Series About the SeriesThis new book series, Innovations in Physical Chemistry: Monograph Series, offers a comprehensive collection of books on physical principles and mathematical techniques for majors, non-majors, and chemical engineers. Because there many exciting new areas of research involving computational chemistry, nanomaterials, smart materials, high-performance materials, and applications of the recently discovered graphene, there can be no doubt that physical chemistry is a vitally important field. Physical chemistry is considered a daunting branch of chemistry— it is grounded in physics and mathematics and draws on quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical thermodynamics.
Innovations in Physical Chemistry has been carefully developed to help readers increase their confidence when using physics and mathematics to answer fundamental questions about the structure of molecules, how chemical reactions take place, and why materials behave the way they do.
This series covers: Computational Chemistry; Elementary Chemical Kinetics; Fundamental Concepts of Thermodynamics; Heat, Work, Internal Energy, Enthalpy, and the First Law of Thermodynamics; The Importance of State Functions: Internal Energy and Enthalpy; Thermochemistry; Entropy; and the Second and Third Laws of Thermodynamics; Chemical Equilibrium; The Properties of Real Gases; Phase Diagrams and the Relative Stability of Solids, Liquids, and Gases; Ideal and Real Solutions; Electrolyte Solutions; Electrochemical Cells, Batteries, and Fuel Cells; From Classical to Quantum Mechanics; The Schrödinger Equation; The Quantum Mechanical Postulates; Using Quantum Mechanics on Simple Systems.
Modern applications are drawn from biology, environmental science, and material science. Spectroscopy applications are introduced early in concert with theory; for example, IR and rotational spectroscopy are discussed immediately after the harmonic oscillator.
Modern research is featured throughout, along with new developments in the field, such as scanning tunneling microscopy, bandgap engineering, quantum wells, teleportation, and quantum computing.
The books in the series act as guides that take readers into the subject, in spite of the generally modest background they might have on the subject matter. The physical basis of essential ideas will be emphasized, and mathematical developments are simple and closely tied to the physical bases. The overall organization of the titles in the series is such that topics are introduced in stages so students can become familiar with, and grow into each topic, and chapters are written so that there is flexibility in the order in which they may be used.
Volume 1: High-Performance Materials and Engineered Chemistry
This volume will be an advanced book for all those looking for a deeper insight into the theories, concepts and applications of modern materials and engineered chemistry. The will be comprised of innovative applications and research in varied spheres of material and chemical engineering. The purpose of this book is to explain and discuss the new theories and case studies concerning material and chemical engineering, helping readers increase their understanding and knowledge of the discipline.
This book will cover many important aspects of applied research and evaluation methods in chemical engineering and materials science that are important in chemical technology and in the design of chemical and polymeric products.

COMMENTS FROM AAP EDITORS AND AUTHORS
AAP book title: Advances in Audiology and Hearing Science (2-volume set)
“I have collaborated with AAP during the process of bringing my two-volume editing work to a final publishing phase. AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.”
—Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy
AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set)
“I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press. They provided me with regular and useful information and updates throughout the publishing procedure. I am also very happy with the final product, which is of good quality. The books are now available and are professionally distributed through the various channels. I would like again to thank the team at AAP for all their hard work and support.”

AAP book title: Physiology of Molluscs (2-volume set)
“I have enjoyed the full benefit of support, encouragement, and kindness from the members of AAP I have had the pleasure of being associated with. In the same vein, I hope AAP was satisfied with the book series I have edited in advancing the knowledge. It has been a great journey and was a great pleasure and satisfaction. Advancing scholarship through publications is one of the best routes publishers can take, and I would hold AAP as one of the best ones.”
—Saber Saleuddin, PhD, University Professor Emeritus, Department of Biology, York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
AAP book title: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology: Biological, Pharmaceutical, and Macromolecular Systems
“It had been my pleasure to work with the production team of Apple Academic Press for almost a decade. The best presentation of our work was due to their hard work and with careful scrutiny. I am sure that every one of them takes extra pains to publish the book nicely, maintaining the quality and timeliness. It was a rewarding experience to work with AAP. I would like to publish more with AAP on my upcoming projects in future also.”

AAP book title: New Frontiers in Nanochemistry, 3-volume set, plus many others
"Publishing a book, either as author or editor, is a journey from the initial vibration to the piece of knowledge towards the present future of humanity at large. Such a journey is about climbing and tunneling, about diving and driving through, about inspiration and tuning, about hard working in every instance; and it is also about time. Very few Global Publishers have the wisdom and patience and kindness and openness to authors, contributors, and readers while being truly crafting oriented as Apple Academic; yet all is about people and their education, vision and assumed mission; the Apple Academic Team heartily succeed that in achieving the world class scholarly acclaim by the quality involvement in all chain of plus value added with each publishing event. Hearty Compliments! Excelsior Apple Academic!"
