By providing an applied and modern approach, this volume will help readers understand the value and relevance of studying chemical physics and technology to all areas of applied chemical engineering, and gives them the depth of coverage they need to develop a solid understanding of the key principles in the field. Presenting a wide-ranging view of current developments in applied methodologies in chemical and biochemical physics research, the papers in this collection, all written by highly regarded experts in the field, examine various aspects of chemical and biochemical physics and experimentation. The book: * Highlights applications of chemical physics to subjects that chemical engineering students will see in graduate courses * Introduces the types of challenges and real problems that are encountered in industry and graduate research * Provides short chapters that introduce students to the subject in more bite-sized pieces * Presents biochemical examples and applications * Focuses on concepts above formal experimental techniques and theoretical methods The book is ideal for upper-level research students in chemistry, chemical engineering, and polymers. The book assumes a working knowledge of calculus, physics, and chemistry, but no prior knowledge of polymers.

In this volume, we included information about the preparation, characterisation and applications of magnesium stearate, cobalt stearate and copper stearate, and the water sorption of polyvinyl chloride-luffa cylindrica composites. The control of the particle size and purity of nano zinc oxide, hyaluronan -- an information rich messenger reporting on the physiological and pathophysiological status of synovial joints are also discussed. Further information is included as well, such as the surface properties of polyimide copolymers; polyvinylchloride antibacterial pre-treated by barrier plasma; new types of ethylene copolymers on the base nanocomposite; the interaction of hybrid antioxidants -- ichphans with erythrocyte membrane; and changes in the structural parameters and molecular dynamics of polyhydroxybutyrate-chitosan mixed compositions under the external influences and anti-fungal activity of animated chitosan against three different fungi species. We collected the reviews and original papers about the collagen modified hardener for melamine-formaldehyde adhesive for increasing the water-resistance of plywood, including: the possibile applications of collagen colloid from secondary raw materials as a modifier of polycondensation adhesives; preparation and properties of animal protein hydrolysates for optimal adhesive compositions; a novel supramolecular hyaluronan/polyborate system for tumour treatment with boron neutron capture therapies; the analysis of the common factors of inactivation and stabilisation of glutathione peroxidase I with the use of polyacrylic acid as a way of receiving preparations for curing diseases of the central nervous system and a comparison of two bioremediation technologies for oil polluted soils.

This book examines information regarding the influence of Ichfan-10 and Phenozan on the content of two apoptotic proteins in the blood and the spleen of mice. Particular attention is placed on the perspectives of different types of polymer nanocomposite applications as engineering materials; structural analysis of nanocomposites polymer/organoclay microhardness; disturbance of oxidative homeostasis in blood of patients with mental diseases; quenching of SYBRGreen fluorescence on DNA matrix by Au nanoparticles; biodegradation of the films of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate and its blends in soil and water; and, biodegradable polymer composites based on polyolefin and natural polymers.

This book presents recent research in Chemical and Biochemical physics. Chemical physics addresses a large range of problems. An effective chemical physicist is a "jack-of-all-trades", able to apply the principles and techniques of the field to everything from high-tech materials to biology. Just as the fields of chemistry and physics have expanded, so have chemical physics subject areas, which include polymers, materials, surfaces/interfaces, and biological macromolecules, along with the traditional small molecule and condensed phase systems. Biochemical Physics is a science that joins the three natural sciences biology, chemistry and physics into one comprehensive study. N M Emanuel pioneered this science over fifty years ago. This book presents papers, written by Emanuel's students, that reveal recent developments in this interesting field.
