Description
This is the second volume of a four volume set intended to describe the techniques and applications of thermoanalytical and calorimetric
methods. The general techniques and methodology are covered extensively in Volume 1, along with the fundamental physicochemical background
needed. Consequently the subsequent volumes dwell on the applications of these powerful and versatile methods, while assuming a familiarity
with the techniques.
Volume 2 covers major areas of inorganic materials and some related general topics, e.g., catalysis, geochemistry,
and the preservation of art. The chapters are written by established practitioners in the field with the intent of presenting a sampling
of the how thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods have contributed to progress in their respective areas. The chapters are not intended
as exhaustive reviews of the topics, but rather, to illustrate to the readers what has been achieved and to encourage them to consider
extending these applications further into their domains of interest.
Included in series
Handbook of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry
Audience:
Thermal analysts in academia (universities, colleges) and industry, and graduate students in the field of thermochemistry and thermal analysis.
