The intention of this book is to introduce the reader to the wide range of analytical techniques that are available for characterizing polymeric materials. The emphasis and focus are on the properties of polymers, rather than on the various techniques employed. Although there are a number of texts which discuss polymer analysis, this is the only book currently available which includes extensive use of questions and problems to aid the reader's understanding. The majority of books on this subject are heavily charged with theory, while Polymer Analysis, on the other hand, concentrates very much on the practical aspects.

Key features include the following:

• First introductory, distance learning book covering polymer analysis
• Clear summaries of each analytical technique and extensive use of self-assessment questions and problems to aid student understanding.
• Clear examples of data analysis
• Assumes no previous knowledge of the analytical techniques being discussed
• Focuses on the properties of polymers, rather than on the analytical techniques and is therefore more accessible
• Provides comprehensive coverage of the range of techniques used to study polymeric materials

Title: Engineers' report on the Niagara ship canal: made to the Commissioners appointed by the Legislature of New York.Author: Charles B StuartPublisher: Gale, Sabin Americana Description: Based on Joseph Sabin's famed bibliography, Bibliotheca Americana, Sabin Americana, 1500--1926 contains a collection of books, pamphlets, serials and other works about the Americas, from the time of their discovery to the early 1900s. Sabin Americana is rich in original accounts of discovery and exploration, pioneering and westward expansion, the U.S. Civil War and other military actions, Native Americans, slavery and abolition, religious history and more.Sabin Americana offers an up-close perspective on life in the western hemisphere, encompassing the arrival of the Europeans on the shores of North America in the late 15th century to the first decades of the 20th century. Covering a span of over 400 years in North, Central and South America as well as the Caribbean, this collection highlights the society, politics, religious beliefs, culture, contemporary opinions and momentous events of the time. It provides access to documents from an assortment of genres, sermons, political tracts, newspapers, books, pamphlets, maps, legislation, literature and more.Now for the first time, these high-quality digital scans of original works are available via print-on-demand, making them readily accessible to libraries, students, independent scholars, and readers of all ages.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

This book Grace; exposes the virtue by explaining the purpose and value of this gift to God's people. This book tells us that Grace goes beyond reciting, "Grace is God's unmerited favour." This books that there is much more to grace than just repeating that it is God's Unmerited favour.

This work provides an introduction to those needing to use infrared spectroscopy for the first time, explaining the fundamental aspects of this technique, how to obtain a spectrum and how to analyse infrared data covering a wide range of applications. It includes instrumental and sampling techniques; covers biological and industrial applications; and, includes suitable questions and problems in each chapter to assist in the analysis and interpretation of representative infrared spectra. It is part of the "ANTS (Analytical Techniques in the Sciences) Series".

Biological Applications of Infrared Spectroscopy Infrared spectroscopy (IR) is a well established analytical technique for the identification of organic molecules. However, it is now being used more and more by biologists and biochemists in the analysis of complex biological molecules, such as proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. In this first dedicated volume, which is aimed at the beginner user level, the theory of IR is described and is then related to various biological systems. Chapters on instrumentation, sample preparation and the interpretation of spectra give the reader practical help in using the technique. A comprehensive applications chapter illustrates the diversity and power of this technique in real systems. Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning This series provides a uniquely comprehensive and integrated coverage of analytical chemistry, covering basic concepts, classical methods, instrumental techniques and applications. The learning objectives of each text are clearly identified and the student’s understanding of the material is constantly challenged by self-assessment questions with reinforcing or remedial responses. The overall objective of Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning is to enable the student to select and apply appropriate methods and techniques to solve analytical problems, and to interpret the results obtained.
