Chromic or colour related phenomena are produced in response to a chemical or physical stimulus. This new edition will update the information on all those areas where chemicals or materials interact with light to produce colour, a colour change, or luminescence especially in the imaging, analysis, lighting and display areas. The book has been restructured to show greater emphasis on applications where 'coloured' compounds are used to transfer energy or manipulate light in some way therefore reducing the details on classical dyes and pigments. In the past eight years, since the previous edition, there has been a remarkable increase in the number of papers and reviews being produced reflecting the growth of interest in this area. This ongoing research interest is matched by a large number of new technological applications gaining commercial value covering e.g. biomedical areas, energy, data storage, physical colour, bio-inspired materials and photonics. This book appeals to industrial chemists, professionals, postgraduates and as high level recommended reading for colour technology courses.

Developed by the University of the First Age, this book will help you create an effective revision programme for your students. It is organized into a series of workshops based on recent research into the brain and how it works, giving students valuable insight into how learning occurs and introducing them to specific, tried-and-tested revision techniques. The Brain Friendly Revision programme outlined has been used successfully by teachers, with positive results, in mainstream lessons and in intensive vacation revision programmes. The University of the First Age is an organization that works with schools and communities to extend and enrich the learning of young people beyond the school day. It promotes accelerated, brain-based approaches to help young people and their teachers unlock their true learning potential.
