Handbook of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry: Recent Advances, Techniques and Applications

by Elsevier Science

Overview

This is Volume 5 of a Handbook that has been well-received by the thermal analysis and calorimetry community. All chapters in all five volumes are written by international experts in the subject. The fifth volume covers recent advances in techniques and applications that complement the earlier volumes. The chapters refer wherever possible to earlier volumes, but each is complete in itself. The latest recommendations on Nomenclature are also included. Amongst the important new techniques that are covered are micro-thermal analysis, pulsed thermal analysis, fast-scanning calorimetery and the use of quartz-crystal microbalances. There are detailed reviews of heating - stage spectroscopy, the range of electrical techniques available, applications in rheology, catalysis and the study of nanoparticles. The development and application of isoconversional methods of kinetic analysis are described and there are comprehensive chapters on the many facets of thermochemistry and of measuring thermophysical properties. Applications to inorganic and coordination chemistry are reviewed, as are the latest applications in medical and dental sciences, including the importance of polymorphism. The volume concludes with a review of the use and importance of thermal analysis and calorimetry in quality control.

* Updates and complements previous volumes
* Internationally recognized experts as authors
* Each chapter complete in itself

About the Author

Sergey Vyazovkin received his PhD from Belorussian State University (1989). His research is concerned with the kinetics of thermally stimulated processes in condensed phase systems. He is a winner of the Mettler-Toledo Award in thermal analysis and of the James J. Christensen Award in calorimetry. Professor Vyazovkin is editor of Thermochimica Acta, a member of the editorial board of Macromolecular Rapid Communications and Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, and the chairman of the Kinetics Committee of the International Confederation for Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry. His research has been published in one book, four book chapters, and 160 peer-reviewed papers cited over 11,000 times.

Nobuyoshi Koga received his PhD-CSc from the Institute of Chemical Technology in Pardubice (Czechoslovakia, 1991). His research covers thermal analysis and mechanisms of solid-state reactions. He is also known as a specialist in chemistry education research. He is a winner of the ICTAC Young Scientist Award (1996), Jaroslav Heyrovsky Honorary Medal for Merit in Chemical Sciences (The Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, 2013), The Award of the Japan Society of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry (2014), and others. Professor Koga is editor of Thermochimica Acta (Elsevier), honorary editor of the Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry (Springer), editor of a Japanese book on thermal analysis, and vice president of the International Confederation for Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry. His research on thermal analysis has been published in 12 book chapters and 100 peer-reviewed papers as well as two book chapters and 50 peer-reviewed papers on chemistry education.

Christoph Schick received his PhD from Technical University Merseburg, Germany (1980). His research is concerned with glass and phase transitions in different materials spanning from small organic molecules over polymers to metals. He is interested in advanced calorimetric methods, particularly fast scanning calorimetry. He is a winner of the Mettler-Toledo Award in thermal analysis, the James J. Christensen Award in calorimetry, and three more European awards in calorimetry. Professor Schick is editor of Thermochimica Acta, a board member of the German society of thermal analysis (GEFTA), and counsellor of the International Association of Chemical Thermodynamics (IACT). His research has been published in one book, 15 book chapters, and 300 peer-reviewed papers cited over 7,000 times.
