Polyolefins: 50 years after Ziegler and Natta IPolyethylene and Polypropylene

Advances in Polymer Science enjoys a longstand-ing tradition and good reputation in its com-munity. Each volume is dedicated to a current topic, and each review critically surveys one aspect of that topic, to place it within the context of the volume. The volumes typically summa-rize the significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years and discuss them critically, presenting selected examples, explaining and illustrating the important principles, and bringing together many important references of primary literature. On that basis, future research directions in the area can be discussed.

Proliposomes: A Manufacturing Technology of Liposomes for Pulmonary Delivery via NebulizationProliposome technologies are stable phospholipid formulations that provide an approach to generat-ing liposomes upon addition of aqueous phase prior to administration. In this monograph, the authors review the potential of proliposomes for pulmonary delivery of liposomes via nebuliza-tion using air-jet, ultrasonic and vibrating-mesh nebulizers. They explore both proliposome types, particulate-based and solvent-based. The book concludes that both types are capable of exploiting the energy of nebulization to generate liposomes within nebulizers.

Dietary Chinese HerbsChemistry, Pharmacology and Clinical Evidence

This work presents up-to-date information on chemical, pharmacological, clinical studies and historical use of common dietary Chinese herbs. A brief chronological review of Chinese literatures on dietary herb uses, with chapters dedicated to each selected dietary herb, Latin name indices, chemical components, pharmacological targets and diseases is provided. Examined are the health benefits that have been studied for centuries. A wide range of TCM herbs are investigated for their suitability into daily diets for maintaining general wellness or disease prevention. In the past decade, nutraceuticals have emerged in the West due to the increasing demand for non-pharmaceutical healthcare products. Natural materials could be sources for developing new, effective, and safe ingredients to capture the rapidly expanding op-portunity in the global market place. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) disease prevention and treatment incorporates the use of foods, and herbal medicine in an integrated manner.

Ultrafast Phenomena in Molecular SciencesFemtosecond Physics and Chemistry

This book presents the latest developments in Femtosecond Chemistry and Physics for the study of ultrafast photo-induced molecular processes. Molecular systems, from the simplest H2 molecule to polymers or biological macromolecules, consti-tute central objects of interest for Physics, Chem-istry and Biology, and despite the broad range of phenomena that they exhibit, they share some common behaviors. One of the most significant of those is that many of the processes involving chemical transformation (nuclear reorganization, bond breaking, bond making) take place in an extraordinarily short time, in or around the femto-second temporal scale (1 fs = 10-15 s).

Features 7 Includes a foreword of Nobel laureate Ahmed H.

The Thermodynamics of Linear Fluids and Fluid MixturesIn this book, Samohýl and Pekař offer a consistent and general non-equilibrium thermodynamic description for a model of chemically reacting mixtures. This type of model is frequently encoun-tered in practice and up until now, chemically reacting systems (out of equilibrium) have rarely been described in books on non-equilibrium ther-modynamics. Readers of this book benefit from the systematic development of the theory; this starts with general principles, going through the applications to single component fluid systems, and finishing with the theory of mixtures, includ-ing chemical reactions. The authors describe the simplest mixture model – the linear fluid – and highlight many practical and thermodynamically consistent equations for describing transport properties and reaction kinetics for this model.

Features 7 Consistent, unique and integrated ther-modynamic and kinetic description of chemi-cally reacting systems often encountered in practice 7 Development is based on general principles (balances) and clearly defined mixture model 7 Transport processes are naturally included and combined with chemical reactions with no specific presumptions on their coupling

Growth Mechanisms and Novel Properties of Silicon Nanostructures from Quantum-Mechanical CalculationsIn this volume, Prof. Zhang reviews the systematic theoretical studies in his group on the growth mechanisms and properties of silicon quan-tum dots, nanotubes and nanowires, including: mechanisms of oxide-assisted growth of silicon nanowires, energetic stability of pristine silicon nanowires and nanotubes, thermal stability of hydrogen terminated silicon nanostructures, size-dependent oxidation of hydrogen terminated silicon nanostructures, excited-state relaxation of hydrogen terminated silicon nanodots, and direct-indirect energy band transitions of silicon nanow-ires and sheets by surface engineering and strain-ing. He also discusses the potential applications of these findings. This book will mainly benefit those members of the scientific and research community working in nanoscience, surface science, nanoma-terials and related fields.

Contents Introduction.- Growth mechanism of silicon nanowires.- Stability of silicon nanostructures.- Novel electronic properties of silicon nanostruc-tures.- Summary and remarks.
