Modern printing is based on digitizing information and then representing it on a substrate, such as paper, pixel by pixel. One of the most common methods of digital printing is through inkjet printers. The process of inkjet printing is very complicated, and the ink used must meet certain chemical and physicochemical requirements including those related to storage stability; jetting performance; color management; wetting; and adhesion on substrates. Obviously, these requirements - which represent different scientific disciplines such as colloid chemistry, chemical engineering, and physics - indicate the need for an interdisciplinary book that will cover all aspects of making and utilizing inkjet inks.This book provides basic and essential information on the important parameters which determine ink performance. It covers not only the conventional use of inkjet technology on graphic applications, but also the extension of this method to print various functional materials, such as the use of conductive inks to print light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and three-dimensional structures. Thus, the book will serve a large community: industrial chemists who deal with ink formulations and synthesis of chemicals for inks; chemical engineers and physicists who deal with the rheological and flow properties of inks; and researchers in academic institutes who seek to develop novel applications based on inkjet printing of new materials.

'As perfume is an art, it should be revealed to artists' was the passionate belief of the author, the renowned French cosmetic chemist R-M GattA(c)fosse, who coined the term 'aromatherapy' and was instrumental in its development. In this volume GattA(c)fosse set out to restore the fortunes of the French perfume industry after World War II by educating a new generation in the artistic principles of perfumery and cosmetology as well as in chemical and technical matters. He explains how to handle the raw materials of perfumes and cosmetics, gives the formulas for classic formulations like chypre, amber, vetivert and jasmine along with methods of preparation, and encourages readers to develop their own perfume formulas, aromatic creativity and 'nose'. In the second part of the work GattA(c)fosse presents cosmetology formulas for beauty creams, lotions, rouges, sun and sport creams, and hair and nail products. The great value of the work lies in the formulas it contains which have been largely forgotten today, and which can be recreated or interpreted with little difficulty. Intended as a resource for interested laymen and professional perfumers and cosmetologists, this is an inspirational text by the man who changed the nature and smell of modern cosmetics and perfumes.
