A Guide to Materials Characterization and Chemical Analysis

Written both for the novice and for the experienced scientist, this miniature encyclopedia concisely describes over one hundred materials methodologies, including evaluation, chemical analysis, and physical testing techniques. Each technique is presented in terms of its use, sample requirements, and the engineering principles behind its methodology. Real life industrial and academic applications are also described to give the reader an understanding of the significance and utilization of technique. There is also a discussion of the limitations of each technique.Diese sowohl für den Neuling als auch für den erfahrenen Wissenschaftler verfaßte Miniatur-Enzyklopädie behandelt über 100 Untersuchungsmethoden zur Charakterisierung von Werkstoffen - von Bewertungen und chemischen Analysen bis zu physikalischen Verfahren. Der Autor beschreibt jede der Methoden nach Art und Weise ihres Einsatzes, der Probenvorbereitung und dem zugrundeliegenden wissenschaftlich-technischen Prinzip. Er bringt Anwendungsbeispiele aus dem akademischen und dem industriellen Bereich, um dem Leser eine Vorstellung von der Bedeutung dieser Techniken zu geben. Methoden zur Polymer-Analyse mit Qualitätstests und Auswertungsverfahren sowie aus den Bereichen Oberflächenanalyse und Mikroskopie bilden, unterstützt durch anschauliche Abbildungen und Beispiele, den Schwerpunkt des Buches.

John P. Sibilia is the author of A Guide to Materials Characterization and Chemical Analysis, 2nd Edition, published by Wiley. A Guide to Materials Characterization and Chemical Analysis Second Edition Edited by John P. Sibilia This book provides an overview of the most current techniques used for chemical analysis, materials evaluation, and materials testing. Over 100 materials methodologies, evaluations, chemical analyses, physical testing, and scientific computing techniques are covered, including the fields of molecular spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, chromatography, chemical analysis, x-ray analysis, microscopy, surface science, thermal analysis, and polymer characterization. All of the techniques are explained in a clear, easy-to-read format and are discussed in terms of their use, sample requirements, and the underlying chemical, physical, and engineering principles. Many real-life industrial and academic applications are included to give the reader a true feel for the significance and uses of each technique, enabling him or her to identify the best approach for solving a particular problem. For each technique, a section is included that describes its advantages and limitations, along with general references for further reading. A Guide to Materials Characterization and Chemical Analysis, Second Edition, will be of interest to analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemists; physicists; materials scientists; chemical engineers; and instructors and students in materials science and instrumental analysis.
