Zusatztext "Hansen (retired from the FORCE Institute in Broenby Denmark) describes the techniques he developed that allow correlations and systemic comparisons in the science of polymer solvents. Most commonly used in the coatings industry for the selection of solvents! the techniques assess polymer solubility! swelling! permeation! surface wetting! and the solubility of organic salts. The approach not only quantitatively describes hydrogen bonding and polar bonding in many types of systems! but in fact agrees with and extends the very general Prigogine theory. The second edition adds two chapters on environmental stress cracking and absorption/diffusion in polymers." - SciTech Book News! December 2007 Informationen zum Autor Charles M. Hansen Klappentext In this new edition, Charles M. Hansen invites five renowned experts to share their innovative work on novel topics such as using statistical thermodynamics to confirm existing HSPs, reconciling HSP with other thermodynamic theories, predicting the behavior of carbon dioxide, environmental stress cracking, absorption and diffusion in polymers, and other insight on future applications in biological materials, controlled release, nanotechnology, and self-assembly. The book highlights recent findings on interactions with DNA, and other novel applications of HSPs, such as ozone-safe solvents, protective clothing, drug delivery systems, and petroleum applications. Zusammenfassung Includes discussion of the treatment of biological materials, with emphasis on findings on interactions with DNA, environmental stress cracking, absorption and diffusion in polymers, and a statistical thermodynamics approach for confirming existing HSPs.
