Dendrimers and Other Dendritic Polymers (Hardcover): J.M.J. Frechet Dendrimers and Other Dendritic Polymers (Hardcover)
J.M.J. Frechet
R16,618 Discovery Miles 166 180 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Dendrimers have been referred to as "the polymers of the 21st Century." These macromolecules are characterized by "branch upon branch" architecture and are now rapidly expanding the general fields of polymer science and chemistry. Dendritic polymers are the most recently discovered, fourth major architectural class of macromolecules. They represent a fourth major class after traditional types which include (I) linear, (II) cross-linked and (III) branched architectures.

Dendrimers and Other Dendritic Polymers provides a detailed insight into dendritic polymers, and discusses all the known subclasses of dendritic polymers in addition to dendrons and dendrimers, including hyperbranched polymers, dendrigrafts and megamers.

Dendrimers possess unique structures and exhibit properties that differ dramatically from those of the more traditional polymer types. These features have contributed to multi-disciplinary applications and now many major chemical companies are investing extensively in dendritic polymer research as they are investigating their broad commercial applications. They are currently being developed for use in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries with identified applications in areas as diverse as: drug delivery, cancer therapy, nano-pharmaceuticals, nano-diagnostics, nanolithography, coatings and adhesives, separation technology and catalysis.

With contributions from many of the leading scientists in the field of dendritic polymers, this comprehensive volume provides:

  • an overview of developments in the field of dendrimers, with a comparison of properties and synthesis to traditional polymers

  • discussion of commercial and potential applications for dendritic polymers

  • an identification of the key trends and analytical perspectives in dendrimer research

  • practical procedures for the laboratory preparation of some of the more commonly used dendrimer families.
This will be essential reading for all chemists, polymer/material scientists, plastics engineers, nanotechnologists and postgraduate polymer scientists and engineers.

This book focuses on inorganic nanosheets, including various oxides, chalcogenides, and graphenes, that provide two-dimensional (2D) media to develop materials chemistry in broad fields such as electronics, photonics, environmental science, and biology. The application area of nanosheets and nanosheet-based materials covers the analytical, photochemical, optical, biological, energetic, and environmental research fields. All of these applications come from the low dimensionality of the nanosheets, which anisotropically regulate structures of solids, microspaces, and fluids. Understanding nanosheets from chemical, structural, and application aspects in relation to their "fully nanoscopic" characters will help materials scientists to develop novel advanced materials. This is the first book that accurately and concisely summarizes this field including exfoliation and intercalation chemistries of layered crystals. The book provides perspective on the materials chemistry of inorganic nanosheets. The first section describes fundamental aspects of nanosheets common to diverse applications: how unique structures and properties are obtained from nanosheets based on low dimensionality. The second section presents state-of-the-art descriptions of how the 2D nature of nanosheets is utilized in each application of the materials that are developed.

Bending Behavior of Thermoplastic Composite Sheets - Viscoelasticity and Temperature Dependency in the Draping Process... Bending Behavior of Thermoplastic Composite Sheets - Viscoelasticity and Temperature Dependency in the Draping Process (Paperback, 1st ed. 2017)
Steffen Ropers
R1,758 Discovery Miles 17 580 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Within the scope of this work, Steffen Ropers evaluates the viscoelastic and temperature-dependent nature of the bending behavior of thermoplastic composite sheets in order to further enhance the predictability of the draping simulation. This simulation is a useful tool for the development of robust large scale processes for continuously fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP). The bending behavior thereby largely influences the size and position of wrinkles, which are one of the most common processing defects for continuously fiber-reinforced parts. Thus, a better understanding of the bending behavior of thermoplastic composite sheets as well as an appropriate testing method along with corresponding material models contribute to a wide-spread application of CFRPs in large scale production.

Carbon Fibre from Lignin (Paperback, 1st ed. 2017): Pratima Bajpai Carbon Fibre from Lignin (Paperback, 1st ed. 2017)
Pratima Bajpai
R1,733 Discovery Miles 17 330 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book presents detailed information on the production and properties of carbon fibers derived from lignin precursors. Focusing on future directions in the carbon fiber industry, it also introduces a novel process for obtaining high-purity lignin, a key aspect in the manufacture of high-quality carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is currently the most preferred lightweight manufacturing material and is rapidly becoming the material of choice for manufacturers around the world. Although more than 80% of commercial carbon fiber is estimated to use PAN (polyacrylonitrile) as a precursor, carbon fiber manufactured from PAN is expensive and therefore its application is limited to high-performance structural materials. Lignin is the second most abundant biopolymer in nature after cellulose and offers a carbon-rich, renewable resource. As a byproduct of the pulp and paper industry and the production of cellulosic ethanol, lignin is also available at low cost, making it an economically attractive alternative to PAN for the production of carbon fibers, as highlighted in this book. The information presented will be of interest to all those involved in the investigation of carbon fiber materials, carbon fiber manufacturers and carbon fiber users.

Crystallography of the Polymethylene Chain - An Inquiry into the Structure of Waxes (Hardcover, New): Douglas L. Dorset Crystallography of the Polymethylene Chain - An Inquiry into the Structure of Waxes (Hardcover, New)
Douglas L. Dorset
R6,204 Discovery Miles 62 040 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

By considering the solid state packing of linear chain wax components, this book aims at understanding three things: firstly, which modifications of molecular components are allowed for maintaining stable solid solutions; secondly, what happens when stability conditions are traversed and fractionation begins and thirdly, the structure of fractionated arrays. The co-compatibility of molecular ingredients is considered in terms of their shapes and relative sizes, following an approach originally proposed by Kitaigorodskii. As demonstrated profusely by the crystal structures of pure component types (e. g. alkanes, fatty alcohols, fatty acids, long chain esters, cholesteryl esters) and insertion of functional groups (e. g. chain branches, unsaturation, heteroatoms), characteristic molecular packing arrays provide important geometric information for understanding the co-packing of different molecules in mixtures. Single crystal and spectroscopic data from polydisperse arrays can then be evaluated to arrive at plausible structures of solid solutions and fractionated systems. The resultant structures are not only relevant to the understanding of so-called waxes but also include certain classes of polymers. The ramifications of this work extend into any solid state array of polymethylene chains, including lipid foodstuffs.
