The chemistry, physics, and applications of liquid crystals beyond LCDs Liquid Crystals (LCs) combine order and mobility on a molecular and supramolecular level. But while these remarkable states of matter are most commonly associated with visual display technologies, they have important applications for a variety of other fields as well. Liquid...

This Dictionary provides over 75,000 entries covering all areas of chemistry, such as Chemical Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, and Nanochemistry, plus relevant terms in related spheres of expertise. In order to prepare this Second Edition, the First Edition was completely revised, and over 35,000 new terms were added. This new edition will...

The two chapters in Volume 83 describe reactions that represent two major (and growing) franchises in the "Organic Reactions" series, namely, transition metal catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and multicomponent reactions. These two processes not only have a rich history in synthetic organic chemistry, but also represent some of the most commonly...

The only series available to explore cutting-edge research in chemical physics, Advances in Chemical Physics, Quantum Information and Computation for Chemistry, Volume 154 focuses on liquid polymorphism, with a generous cross-section of research that questions established thinking. The articles scrutinize the evidence for and against, and inquire...

This Second Edition of the go-to reference combines the classical analysis and modern applications of applied mathematics for chemical engineers. The book introduces traditional techniques for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs), adding new material on approximate solution methods such as perturbation techniques and elementary...

Proceedings containing 231 manuscripts that were submitted and approved for the 13 th biennial worldwide refractories congress recognized as the Unified International Technical Conference on Refractories(UNITECR), held September 10-13, 2013....
