Faraday Discussions Multiscale Modelling of Soft Matter

Faraday Discussions No 144
This volume focuses on multiscale modelling: crossing the boundaries from atomistic studies of relatively small systems, to tackle larger systems where the properties of interest can only be studied at longer distances and longer time-scales. Many of the ideas of multiscale modelling cross traditional boundaries and this meeting brought together scientists from several different fields of modelling to discuss state-of-the-art modelling of membranes, colloids, polymers and proteins. The following themes were included in the discussion: polymers: including microphase separation and self-assembly, colloids, mesophases, membranes and methodology for multiscale simulations.

Hydrogen Storage Materials

Faraday Discussions No 151
Hydrogen is widely billed as the fuel of the future and this book brings together the diverse range of workers in the field of hydrogen storage materials, from those involved in materials discovery and characterisation, to those studying mechanisms or developing applications. The themes covered will both inform people of alternative strategies and encourage new ideas and approaches. The book will focus on both synthesis and characterisation to application of such novel materials including the wider issues involved in synthetic routes, characterisation and materials properties. The importance of the interplay of theory and experiment will be stressed. Hardback | 424 pages | ISBN 9781849732369 | 2011 | 150.00

Gold
Faraday Discussions No 152
Gold now fascinates material scientists, catalysis, surface and synthetic chemists and theoreticians in great numbers. One reason for this is that gold catalysis provides a link between model systems that can be produced by materials and surface scientists, probed by theoreticians and the real systems used in catalyst discovery. The newly-discovered chemistry of gold can be used to gain a deeper understanding of catalysis, and how materials can be synthesized and stabilized at the nanoscale. The precise nature of the active sites and the mechanisms of the catalysed reactions of gold are as yet unknown. This volume focuses on the origins of high catalytic activity observed with gold nanoparticles. The aim being to bring together the catalysis and surface science communities with materials scientists and theoreticians, so that new insights could be gained.

Professional Reference and Textbooks Actively Moving Polymers

Shape-memory and Shape-changing Effects
Andreas Lendlein and Marc Behl, Marc Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht, Germany

In recent years there has been a surge of interest in actively moving polymers, materials which can change shape in response to specific stimuli, but there is currently no resource covering the full array of actively moving polymers. This book will cover both shape-memory polymers, materials which can be deformed into a new temporary shape and recover their original shape, and shape-changing polymers, materials which change their shape as long as they are exposed to the stimuli such as expansion or shrinking, exploring both the fundamental mechanisms and applications of the different systems. Readers will gain a comprehensive overview of actively moving polymers from leading scientists in the field and through example applications inspiration for new product ideas. Everything you need to know about actively moving polymers in one place. Hardback | 360 pages | ISBN 9781849735544 | 2013 | 159.99

Analytical Archaeometry
Howell Edwards, University of Bradford, UK | Peter Vandenabeele, University of Ghent, Belgium

The book describes this interesting and challenging field of research which boarders between natural sciences (chemistry, spectroscopy, biology, geology) and humanities (archaeology, (art-)history, conservation sciences). It fills the gap between these two areas whilst focussing on the analytical aspects of this research field. The first part of the book studies the main analytical techniques used in this research field. The second part expands from the different types of materials usually encountered, and the final part is organised around a series of typical research questions. It is aimed at academics as well as professionals in archaeology, art history, museum labs and conservation science. Hardback | 400 pages | ISBN 9781849731621 | 2012 | 132.99

Healthy, Wealthy, Sustainable World

John Emsley, Science Writer

The world stands at a crossroads. What route to the future should we take? The road to a sustainable future beckons, but what effect will this have on chemistry, which appears so dependent on fossil resources? This latest book from award-winning science writer, John Emsley, shows how vital chemistry is for producing abundant food, clean water, healing drugs, alternative fuels, and plastics, and how most of the things which a modern society requires now depend on it - and that includes city living and even sport. Can we really produce all that we need from sustainable sources? Given a new generation of bright young chemists he argues that we can. Written in an appealing style, this lay persons guide explains the roles of chemistry in areas of life ranging from the entirely personal to the global, as well as deconstructing several urban myths about chemicals.
