Engineering of Polymers and Chemical Complexity, Two-Volume Set

This new two-volume set provides a broad overview of current studies in the engineering of polymers and chemicals with complexity of various origins, on scales ranging from single molecules and nano-phenomena to macroscopic chemicals.

Starting with a detailed introduction to the history of research on complex chemical systems and its current state of the art and perspectives, the books present chapters that survey the current progress in particular research fields.

The chapters, prepared by leading international experts, create a fascinating picture of a rapidly developing research discipline that brings chemical technology and polymers to new frontiers. These books provide innovative chapters on the growth of educational, scientific, and industrial research activities among chemists, biologists, and polymer and chemical engineers and provides a medium for mutual communication between international academia and the industry.

Presenting significant research and reviews that report new methodologies and important applications in the fields of industrial chemistry, industrial polymers, and biotechnology, the books also cover chemical databases and the development of new computational methods and efficient algorithms for chemical software and polymer engineering.
