Complex Macromolecular Architectures: Synthesis, Characterization, and Self-Assembly By
2011 | 834 Pages | ISBN: 0470825138 | PDF | 110 MB
The field of CMA (complex macromolecular architecture) stands at the cutting edge of materials science, and has been a locus of intense research activity in recent years. This book gives an extensive description of the synthesis, characterization, and self-assembly of recently-developed advanced architectural materials with a number of potential applications. The architectural polymers, including bio-conjugated hybrid polymers with poly(amino acid)s and gluco-polymers, star-branched and dendrimer-like hyperbranched polymers, cyclic polymers, dendrigraft polymers, rod-coil and helix-coil block copolymers, are introduced chapter by chapter in the book. In particular, the book also emphasizes the topic of synthetic breakthroughs by living/controlled polymerization since 2000. Furthermore, renowned authors contribute on special topics such as helical polyisocyanates, metallopolymers, stereospecific polymers, hydrogen-bonded supramolecular polymers, conjugated polymers, and polyrotaxanes, which have attracted considerable interest as novel polymer materials with potential future applications. In addition, recent advances in reactive blending achieved with well-defined end-functionalized polymers are discussed from an industrial point of view. Topics on polymer-based nanotechnologies, including self-assembled architectures and suprastructures, nano-structured materials and devices, nanofabrication, surface nanostructures, and their AFM imaging analysis of hetero-phased polymers are also included.

EXTRACTABLES AND LEACHABLES Learn to address the safety aspects of packaged drug products and medical devices
Pharmaceutical drug products and medical devices are expected to be effective and safe to use. This includes minimizing patient, user or product exposure to impurities leached from these items when the drug product is administered or when the medical device is used. Clearly, patient or user exposure to leachables must not adversely impact their health and safety. Furthermore, these impurities must not adversely affect key quality attributes of the drug product or medical device, including its manufacturability, stability, efficacy, appearance, shelf-life and conformance to standards.

2012 | 199 Pages | ISBN: 3527409254 | PDF | 3 MB
This monograph for young researchers and professionals looking for a comprehensive reference offers an advanced treatment of the topic that extends beyond an introductory work. As such, it systematically covers the inorganic nanostructures in the breadth needed, while presenting them together with the surface science tools used to characterize them, such as electron spectroscopy and scanning probe techniques. The unique challenges in the fabrication of nanostructures are illustrated, and set into context of controlling structure, dimensionality and electronic properties.

Mechanical Characterization of Materials and Wave Dispersion: Instrumentation and Experiment Interpretation By
2010 | 477 Pages | ISBN: 1848211937 | PDF | 14 MB
Over the last 50 years, the methods of investigating dynamic properties have resulted in significant advances. This book explores dynamic testing, the methods used, and the experiments performed, placing a particular emphasis on the context of bounded medium elastodynamics. Dynamic tests have proven to be as efficient as static tests and are often easier to use at lower frequency. The discussion is divided into four parts. Part A focuses on the complements of continuum mechanics. Part B concerns the various types of rod vibrations: extensional, bending, and torsional. Part C is devoted to mechanical and electronic instrumentation, and guidelines for which experimental set-up should be used are given. Part D concentrates on experiments and experimental interpretations of elastic or viscolelastic moduli. In addition, several chapters contain practical examples alongside theoretical discussion to facilitate the readers understanding. The results presented are the culmination of over 30 years of research by the authors and as such will be of great interest to anyone involved in this field.Content: Chapter 1 Guidelines for Choosing the Experimental Set?up (pages 1-11): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 2 Review of Industrial Analyzers for Material Characterization (pages 13-24): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 3 Mechanical Part of the Vibration Test Bench (pages 25-42): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 4 Exciters and Excitation Signals (pages 43-76): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 5 Transducers (pages 77-117): Jean Tuong Vinh and Michel NuguesChapter 6 Electronic Instrumentation, Connecting Precautions and Signal Processing (pages 119-153): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 7 The Frequency Hilbert Transform and Detection of Hidden Non?linearities in Frequency Responses (pages 155-186): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 8 Measurement of Structural Damping (pages 187-208): Jean Tuong VinhChapter 9 Torsion Test Benches: Instrumentation and Experimental Results (pages 209-253): Michel NuguesChapter 10 Bending Vibration of Rod Instrumentation and Measurements (pages 255-270): Dominique Le NizheryChapter 11 Longitudinal Vibration of Rods: Material Characterization and Experimental Dispersion Curves (pages 271-303): Yvon Chevalier and Jean Tuong VinhChapter 12 Realization of Le Rolland?Sorin's Double Pendulum and Some Experimental Results (pages 305-333): Mostefa Archi and Jean?Baptiste CasimirChapter 13 Stationary and Progressive Waves in Rings and Hollow Cylinders (pages 335-365): Yvon Chevalier and Jean Tuong VinhChapter 14 Ultrasonic Benches: Characterization of Materials by Wave Propagation Techniques (pages 367-395): Patrick GarceauChapter 15 Wave Dispersion in Rods with a Rectangular Cross?Section: Higher Order Theory and Experimentation (pages 397-452): Maurice Touratier

The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selected books that have been made more accessible to consumers in an effort to increase global appeal and general circulation. With these new unabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives of these works by making them available to future generations of statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists. "[A]nyone who works with Markov processes whose state space is uncountably infinite will need this most impressive book as a guide and reference." -American Scientist "There is no question but that space should immediately be reserved for [this] book on the library shelf. Those who aspire to mastery of the contents should also reserve a large number of long winter evenings." -Zentralblatt fur Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete/Mathematics Abstracts "Ethier and Kurtz have produced an excellent treatment of the modern theory of Markov processes that s useful both as a reference work and as a graduate textbook." -Journal of Statistical Physics Markov Processes presents several different approaches to proving weak approximation theorems for Markov processes, emphasizing the interplay of methods of characterization and approximation. Martingale problems for general Markov processes are systematically developed for the first time in book form. Useful to the professional as a reference and suitable for the graduate student as a text, this volume features a table of the interdependencies among the theorems, an extensive bibliography, and end-of-chapter problems.
