This textbook uses a problem-solving approach to teach spectroscopy-based structure determination. It integrates ~256 graded problems covering UV, IR, mass spectrometry, ¹H & ¹³C NMR (including DEPT), and selected 2D NMR examples. The text is concise, theory-focused for solving spectra, includes tables of characteristic bands, and offers full solutions and research-style challenges, making i…
Polymerization Processes and Polymer Materials II explores advanced developments in the synthesis, processing, and characterization of polymers and polymeric materials. This volume focuses on innovative polymerization techniques—including controlled/living polymerizations, emulsion and suspension methods—and examines the resulting materials' physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Em…
Carbohydrates are probably nature's most common product. Plants and algae biosynthesize millions of tons of them every year. Carbohydrates are stores of energy and structural building blocks; they are versatile enough to serve as encoders of biological information and, last but not least, they are involved in recognition processes at a molecular level. Research into carbohydrate and glycoconjug…
This pioneering book integrates Mathematica® for exploring quantum mechanics via analytical, numerical, and graphical tools. Aimed at upper-level undergraduates or grad students, it’s task-focused and includes extensive problem sets tied to computer computation
This volume compiles lectures and papers from an international workshop focused on advanced evaluation of light scattering data—from routine molecular-weight determinations to complex protocols for branched or aggregated polymer samples. Emphasis is placed on analytical techniques, modeling approaches, and case studies in both static and dynamic light scattering
