Engineered Nanoparticles in Agriculture describes synthesis, properties, and application of nanoparticles to crops at pre- and post-harvest level. The book is ideal for research scientists and graduate students working in the area of plant science and nanotechnology. It will also appeal to agrochemical companies interested in new approaches to improve crops quality and yield.

This introduction to thermodynamics discusses typical phase diagrams features and presents the wide range of techniques such as Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Thermogravimetry and others. In the last part the author brings many examples for typical practical problems often solved by thermal analysis. As an instructive guideline for practitioners the work reveals the connection between experimental data and theoretical model and vice versa.

The book introduces the innovative chemical recycling technologies being developed at various scales, from pyrolysis of mixed plastics, to unzipping of polymers into their respective monomers, to breaking down plastics into entirely new chemicals. It is ideal for industrial and academic researchers investigating chemical methods for managing plastic waste and synthetic pathways for breaking down plastic waste into usable chemical building blocks.

After introducing the basics of optical resonators and cavity quantum electrodynamics, this book illustrates several aspects of fiber-based resonators: from their employment in daily life and precision experiments to the different design techniques, including the most recent developments in the field. The book describes in detail the applications to different research areas and highlights the future potential as quantum technology devices.

Aromatic compounds are a diverse and fascinating class of compounds with wide-ranging importance. This book provides an overview of the synthesis and reactivity of aromatic compounds. The publication covers the many important reaction types, such as electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution, the reactivity of benzynes, aryllithium chemistry, and transition metal-mediated reactions. It also includes a discussion of the synthesis of heteroaromatic compounds, polycyclic aromatic compounds, and nonplanar aromatic systems. This book focusses on reaction mechanisms and numerous examples of applications in multistep synthesis of aromatic compounds.

This book is a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of self-reinforced polymer composites (SRCs) science and technology. After introducing the fundamental characteristics of SRCs, ample space is given to manufacturing, processing, characterization and application techniques. The approach is didactic and focused on formulations, illustrations and applications, which makes the book ideal for students, teachers and practitioners alike.

E-Learning und Online-Learning haben in den letzten Jahren - nicht zuletzt durch die Corona-bedingte Zunahme von Home-Office und Home-Schooling - an Bedeutung gewonnen. Dieses Buch zeigt neue Trends, Erfolgsfaktoren und Einsatzkonzepte von digitalen Lehr- und Lernformen anhand zahlreicher neuer konkreter Beispiele sowohl aus der betrieblichen Praxis weltweit operierender Unternehmen, als auch aus renommierten Hochschulen auf.

Atmospheric aerosols are an important and a highly complex component of the Earth's atmosphere that alter the radiative forcing and the chemical composition of the gas phase. These effects have impacts on local air quality and the global climate. Atmospheric Aerosol Chemistry outlines research findings to date in aerosol chemistry and advances in analytical tools used in laboratory settings for studying their surface and bulk reactivity.

This book focuses on the processes and materials behind energy technologies. The author details the underlying chemistry of renewable sources, such as biofuels and wind power, as well as the traditionally used coal and gas. Chapters on energy storage technologies and the connection between energy generation and climate change round off this uniquely concise overview of the relationship between chemistry and energy.

Offers the reader a modern approach to reactor description and modelling. Using the widely applied numerical language MATLAB, it provides the reader with categorized groups of general code for a wide variety of chemical reactors. Being designed as a tool for researchers and professionals, the code can easily be extended and adapted by the reader to their own specific problems.

Self-organization of matter is observed in every context and on all scales, from the nanoscale of quantum fields and subatomic particles to the macroscale of galaxy superclusters. This book analyzes the wide range of patterns of organization present in nature, highlighting their similarities rather than their differences. This unconventional approach results in an illuminating read which should be part of any Physics student's background.
