Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is a rapidly developing
laboratory technique for the separation and identification of
compounds in mixtures. Significant improvements in instrumentation
have rekindled interest in SFC in recent years and enhanced its
standing in the scientific community. Many scientists are familiar
with column liquid chromatography and its strengths and weaknesses,
but the possibilities brought to the table by SFC are less
well-known and are underappreciated. Supercritical Fluid
Chromatography is a thorough and encompassing reference that
defines the concept of contemporary practice in SFC and how it
should be implemented in laboratory science. Given the changes that
have taken place in SFC, this book presents contemporary aspects
and applications of the technique and introduces SFC as a natural
solution in the larger field of separation science. The focus on
state-of-the-art instrumental SFC distinguishes this work as the
go-to reference work for those interested in implementing the
technique at an advanced level.

The goal of Interface Science and Composites is to facilitate the
manufacture of technological materials with optimized properties on
the basis of a comprehensive understanding of the molecular
structure of interfaces and their resulting influence on composite
materials processes. From the early development of composites of
various natures, the optimization of the interface has been of
major importance. While there are many reference books available on
composites, few deal specifically with the science and mechanics of
the interface of materials and composites. Further, many recent
advances in composite interfaces are scattered across the
literature and are here assembled in a readily accessible form,
bringing together recent developments in the field, both from the
materials science and mechanics perspective, in a single convenient
volume. The central theme of the book is tailoring the interface
science of composites to optimize the basic physical principles
rather than on the use of materials and the mechanical performance
and structural integrity of composites with enhanced
strength/stiffness and fracture toughness (or specific fracture
resistance). It also deals mainly with interfaces in advanced
composites made from high-performance fibers, such as glass,
carbon, aramid, and some inorganic fibers, and matrix materials
encompassing polymers, carbon, metals/alloys, and ceramics.
Practical Chemical Thermodynamics for Geoscientists covers
classical chemical thermodynamics and focuses on applications to

covered in more comprehensive textbooks are well integrated into
general chapter topics and application areas. The goal of this
textbook is to provide students with a valuable resource for
learning the basic concepts of environmental chemistry from an easy
to follow, condensed, application and inquiry-based perspective.
Additional statistical, sampling, modeling and data analysis
concepts and exercises will be introduced for greater understanding
of the underlying processes of complex environmental systems and
fundamental chemical principles. Each chapter will have
problem-oriented exercises (with examples throughout the body of
the chapter) that stress the important concepts covered and
research applications/case studies from experts in the field.
Research applications will be directly tied to theoretical concepts
covered in the chapter. Overall, this text provides a condensed and
integrated tool for student learning and covers key concepts in the
rapidly developing field of environmental chemistry.
