Synopsis

Since the original text published in 2001, there have been significant advances in various analytical techniques and their applications. Each chapter of the new book is rewritten by a contemporary expert in the field, who explains the basic principles of the technique and highlights any recent technical advances in instrumentation or methods of analysis. Where appropriate and fully integrated into the chapters, applications are used to highlight particular operating principles or methods of interpretation. All chapters have been reviewed to ensure consistency and accuracy of nomenclature and descriptions thus ensuring the quality of the book. Primarily aimed at undergraduate courses and the chemical industry where this technique is being used, it may also find a use with instrument manufacturers where they are introducing this method.

About this title

From the Inside Flap

The use of thermal and calorimetric methods has shown rapid growth over the past few decades, in an increasingly wide range of applications. The original text was published in 2001; since then there have been significant advances in various analytical techniques and their applications. This second edition supplies an up to date, concise and readable account of the principles, experimental apparatus and practical procedures used in thermal analysis and calorimetric methods of analysis. Written by experts in their field, brief accounts of the basic theory are reinforced with detailed technical advances and contemporary developments. Where appropriate, applications are used to highlight particular operating principles or methods of interpretation.

As an important source of information for many levels of readership in a variety of areas, this book will be an aid for students and lecturers through to industrial and laboratory staff and consultants.
