Books in the Handbook of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry series

Polymeric materials have a profound presence in chemical, pharmaceutical, biomedical, manufacturing, infrastructure, electronic, optical and information technologies. This book provides a comprehensive coverage of thermodynamic and thermal behaviours of various polymeric materials as well as methodologies of thermal analysis and calorimetry.

The last volume of a four-volume handbook devoted to aspects of biological thermal analysis and chemistry. The approach taken is "how and what to do and when to do it". All the chapters have been prepared by recognized experts in their respective fields.

Describes the techniques and applications of thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods. This volume covers major areas of inorganic materials and some related general topics, such as catalysis, geochemistry, and the preservation of art. It also provides an appreciation for how thermal methods can be applied to inorganic materials and processes.

Covers micro-thermal analysis, pulsed thermal analysis, fast-scanning calorimetery, and, the use of quartz-crystal microbalances. This book includes reviews of heating - stage spectroscopy, the range of electrical techniques available, applications in rheology, catalysis and the study of nanoparticles.
