Highlighting the growing applications of free radicals in key
chemical, biological and medical processes
Over the last two decades the application of free radicals in
organic synthesis, materials science and life science has steadily
increased, this Encyclopedia presents methodologies and mechanisms
involving free radicals of chemical and biological research,
including applications in materials science and medicine.
The aim of this Encyclopedia is to offer for the "first time" a
description of free radicals within an interdisciplinary and
multidisciplinary context, connecting structural characteristics
and chemical properties to their applications in different areas of
chemistry and related disciplines.
It covers not only basic concepts and chemical synthesis, but
also touches on various aspects concerning the role of free
radicals in materials and life sciences. The reader will find a
balanced contribution of topics related to free radicals covering
for example, their role in proteomics, genomics and lipidomics as
well as their enormous potential in synthesis and technology.
Covers topical areas such as: Alzheimer's disease and
antioxidants in food within medicine and life sciencesSynthesis and
catalysis, combustion and atmospheric chemistry within
chemistryAgeing and signalling in biological processes
Of interest to anybody working in the field of free radicals in
the broadest sense. It will address scientists who want to enter
the interdisciplinary field of free radicals. In particular, it is
aimed primarily at chemists and life science researchers who want
to gain a wider and deeper understanding of free radicals which
will allow them to apply free radicals in their own scientific
field.
The book consists of four themed volumes: Basic Concepts &
Methodologies Synthetic Strategies & Applications Chemical
Biology Polymers & Materials
