Synopsis

One of the field’s leading research centers has produced an essential and up-to-date resource covering two fields not normally brought together in the literature. Professor Sorai is a world-recognised expert in the field of thermodynamics and leads key researchers to provide complete coverage of the subject without overloading the reader.

• Comprehensive survey with practical examples
  
• Provides coverage of principles, experimental methods, data analysis, databases and applications
  
• Include applications in many disciplines, such as biochemistry, pharmacy, food, polymers, engineering and the fine chemical industries, in both industry and academia

About this title

From the Back Cover

This handbook offers an invaluable source of information that describes both the basic principles and current state of the art in the fields of calorimetry and thermal analysis. The greatest merit of this handbook is that it provides abundant examples, connecting with actual applications to inorganic- and organic-based materials, biomolecules, medicines, foods and biomaterials, which provide definitive clues to interpretations in a thermodynamic sense. Current topics related to nanoscience and nanotechnology are also included.

Since many practical examples covering a wide range of research fields are featured, this unique handbook is indispensable, not only for everyone in the field of calorimetry and thermal analysis, but also for all the people who work in fields outside of thermodynamics but who have an interest in thermodynamic interpretations.
