Environmentally-friendly ECAs offer many advantages vis-a-vis solder, such as simple and low-temperature processing conditions, better thermo mechanical performance and finer pitch. This book is based on the two Special Issues of the Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology (JAST vol. 22, no. 8-9 and vol. 22, no. 14) dedicated to this topic. The book contains a total of 21 papers (reflecting overviews and original research) and is divided into three parts as follows: Part 1: Introduction and Recent Developments, Part 2: Mechanical, Durability and Reliability Aspects and Part 3: Characterization and Properties.

The book is devoted to kinetics and thermodynamics of the processes with participation of some biological compounds and their synthetic analogues. Aspects of their acting as model enzymes, molecular receptors, photo sensitizers, pharmocophores, and biopharmaceutical compounds are under consideration.

Scientific principles of design and fabrication of packaging materials for food purposes are described in this work, as well as methods for structural modification and other techniques. The main practical properties and applications of polymer materials are described.

Chronicles the proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Contact Angle, Wettability and Adhesion Toronto, Canada, June 2006. This volume contains a total of 19 papers covering many facets of contact angle, wettability and adhesion.

Brings together selected contributed papers presented at the International Conference of Computational Methods in Science and Engineering (ICCMSE 2006), held in Chania, Greece, October 2006. This conference aims to bring together computational scientists from several disciplines in order to share methods and ideas.

Contains a collection of the lectures of the invited speakers presented at the International Conference of Computational methods in Science and Engineering (ICCMSE 2006), held in Chania, Greece, October 2006. This book presents developments of Computational Science pertinent to Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Mathematics and Engineering.

This volume presents the analysis of recent achievements in the field of photodegradation of polymers. It includes, first of all, data of Russian investigators who have decisively contributed in the development of this field of knowledge.

Advances in Neuroregulation mirrors the broad scope of research in the area of medical conditions from nervous and mental diseases to stress-related disorders with topics ranging from new concepts on the immune system and on the action of antidepressants to the evolution and development of the autonomic nervous system.

This text aims to evaluate the actual impact of high-performance capillary electrophoresis on analytical biotechnology and environmental analysis. It should be of interest to those working in HPCE research and applications.
