Handbook of Polymer Synthesis

Part B (In Two Parts)

By: Hans R. Kricheldorf

A compact but comprehensive review of the most important preparative methods for the synthesis and chemical modification of polymers. The contents of the two-volume handbook (Part A was cited in the May 1992 SciTech Book News) are subdivided according to the chemical structure of the polymer backbone on the one hand (Chapters 1-14 of Part A and 15-18 of Part B) and special properties and applications of polymers regardless of their chemical structure on the other hand (Chapters 19-27 of Part B). The latter chapters deal with, for instance, electroconductive polymers, polymeric reagents, and models of bio-polymers. Includes some 11,000 references to the original literature. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Getting It Right in Science and Medicine

Can Science Progress through Errors? Fallacies and Facts

By: Hans R. Kricheldorf

This book advocates the importance and value of errors for the progress of scientific research! Hans Kricheldorf explains that most of the great scientific achievements are based on an iterative process (an ‘innate self-healing mechanism’): errors are committed, being checked over and over again, through which finally new findings and knowledge can arise. New ideas are often first confronted with refusal. This is so not only in real life, but also in scientific and medical research. The author outlines in this book how great ideas had to ripen over time before winning recognition and being accepted. The book showcases in an entertaining way, but without schadenfreude, that even some of the most famous discoverers may appear in completely different light, when regarding errors they have committed in their work. This book is divided into two parts. The first part creates a fundament for the discussion and understanding by introducing important concepts, terms and definitions, such as (natural) sciences and scientific research, laws of nature, paradigm shift, and progress (in science). It compares natural sciences with other scientific disciplines, such as historical research or sociology, and examines the question if scientific research can generate knowledge of permanent validity. The second part contains a collection of famous fallacies and errors from medicine, biology, chemistry, physics and geology, and how they were corrected. Readers will be astonished and intrigued what meanders had to be explored in some cases before scientists realized facts, which are today’s standard and state-of-the-art of science and technology. This is an entertaining and amusing, but also highly informative book not only for scientists and specialists, but for everybody interested in science, research, their progress, and their history!

An Introduction to Plastics

By: Hans-Georg Elias

This second edition of An Introduction to Plastics is the answer to manifold requests for an updated version by the readership. Since publication of the first edition in 1993, the field of plastics has seen tremendous development. Their manufacture and properties are discussed and correlated to the molecular and supermolecular properties of polymers. The contents have been thoroughly revised, restructured and enlarged. Several topics such as polymer composites and mixtures, morphology, flow properties and processing have been given more space, and chapters on electrical conductivity and non-linear optical properties have been newly added. Reviews of the first edition: "This book presents a precise, yet non-mathematical introduction to plastics, their raw materials, syntheses, properties and applications." (B. Sillion, Revue de l'Institut Francais du Pétrole) "The volume is excellently written, with a simple, straightforward and comprehensive index. It provides an overview of all plastics, including raw materials: manufacture, structure, processing, properties and, of course, applications" (D.W. Taylor and J.F. Kennedy, Polymer International) "This book has all the earmarks of becoming a guide to or even a reference book for polymers in structural applications" (Willi Kreuder, Acta Polymerica)

Peptides

Chemistry and Biology

By: Norbert Sewald,Hans-Dieter Jakubke

Der "Sewald/Jakubke" ist und bleibt das einzige moderne, auf dem neuesten wissenschaftlichen Stand gehaltene fortgeschrittene Lehrbuch der Peptid-Biochemie! Auch für diese zweite, um ein Viertel erweitere Auflage haben die Autoren Hunderte von Publikationen gelesen und zu einem informativen und vollständigen Überblick über das Fachgebiet zusammengefasst. Nach einer Einführung in die Grundlagen der Peptidstruktur und -synthese werden die wichtigsten Familien biologisch aktiver Peptide systematisch abgehandelt. Mit interdisziplinärem Anspruch werden dann wichtige Anwendungen aus der Biotechnologie, Pharmazie und Biomedizin besprochen. Selbstverständlich werden auch Themen der Spitzenforschung berücksichtigt, zum Beispiel Pseudopeptide, Peptidmimetika und Aspekte der kombinatorischen Synthese. -- Neu in dieser Auflage sind Fragen und Übungsaufgaben, die das Nacharbeiten von Vorlesungen oder das Selbststudium erleichtern.

Macromolecules

Volume 1: Chemical Structures and Syntheses

By: Hans-Georg Elias

Macromolecules" provides a broad survey of the entire subject; integrated representations of chemistry, physics, and technology; precise descriptions and definitions of basic phenomena; and balanced treatments of facts and theory. The book series thus intends to bridge the gap between introductory textbooks and the highly specialized texts and monographs that cover only part of polymer science and technology. Volume I is concerned with the fundamentals of chemical structure and principles of synthesis of macromolecules: constitution, configuration, conformation, polymerization equilibria, polymerization mechanisms (ionic, coordination, free-radical, step reactions, including solid-state and biochemical polymerizations), polymer reactions, and strategies for defined polymer architectures. Volume II discusses individual polymers and their industrial syntheses, Volume III the fundamentals of physical structures and properties, and Volume IV the processing and application of polymers as plastics, fibers, elastomers, thickeners, etc. The world of macromolecules in a nutshell.

Polycondensation

History and New Results

By: Hans Kricheldorf

This book reports on origin and history of polycondensation chemistry beginning in the first half of the 19th century. Furthermore, history and inventors of the most important polycondensates, such as Nylons, PET or polycarbonates, are described. The classical theory of step-growth polymerizations is discussed in the light of the latest experimental and theoretical results. Particular emphasis is laid on the role of cyclization reactions. Special categories of polycondensation processes are discussed in more detail: syntheses of hyperbranched and multicyclic polymers, non-stoichiometric polycondensations, interfacial polycondensations, solid state polycondensations, condensative chain polymerizations etc.
