One Line DescriptionA unique and timely book focusing on additives for high performance applications
Audience
The book will be of great value to chemists and polymer scientists both in industry and academia. It will also serve the needs of engineers and specialists who have only a passing knowledge of these issues, but need to know more.
DescriptionIn this new book authored by the respected polymer scientist Johannes Karl Fink, he turns his attention to the chemistry of additives for high performance applications. Included in the text are a large number of chemical formulas along with his thorough research. The additives applications include:
• Analysis and separation techniques, such as high performance liquid chromatography, for example, ionic liquids.
• Additives for electrical applications, such as capacitors, electrokinetic micropumps, lithium-ion batteries, and other battery types.
• Additives for solar cells for control of the active layer nanomorphology are documented as are additives for electrolyte membranes, fuel cells, such as membrane exchange humidifiers and coolant additives.
• Medical applications include high performance additives for the manufacture of scaffolds, controlled drug release, and nanofibers.
• Additives for lubricants including the deposit control, anti-wear additives, fluid loss control additives in drilling applications.
• Additives for concrete uses such as set retarders, curing accelerators, defoamers, permeability control additives, and corrosion protection additives.
