Escrito por uno de los principales divulgadores científicos de la actualidad en un tono siempre ágil y estimulante, "¿Qué es la química?" está concebido para abrir los ojos al lector a un mundo tan fascinante como importante desde los puntos de vista intelectual y economico, y despertar su comprension y aprecio hacia el. Consciente de la antipatia o extrañeza que la quimica suscita a menudo debido a su enseñanza en la escuela o a sus nocivas repercusiones en el medio ambiente, Peter Atkins la redime en estas paginas de esos "pecados originales" alumbrandola bajo una nueva luz a medida que expone sus origenes, sus principios -atomos y moleculas, energia y entropia-, sus reacciones y sus tecnicas, para pasar a exponer finalmente sus logros y su futuro.

Excerpt from Zur Mineralogie des PliniusDer Aufsatz zerfallt in zwei Teile. In dem ersten soll versucht werden zu zeigen, was fur Eigenschaften der Mineralien zur Zeit des Plinius im Allgemeinen bekannt waren. Der Stand der Kenntnisse und Fortschritte in einer beschreibenden Naturwissenschaft lasst sich am besten erkennen und verfolgen an der Art und Weise, wie man ein N aturebjekt, ein Tier, eine P?anze oder ein Mineral beschreibt. Bald nachdem man erkannt hatte, dass die chemische Zusammensetzung, dass das optische Verhalten fur die einzelnen Mineralien charakteristisch ist, hat man auch bei der Be schreibung darauf Rucksicht genommen, und wenn man die genaue Beschreibung eines Minerals in einem der auf dem heutigen Standpunkt der Wissenschaft stehenden Lehrbucher Punkt fur Punkt durchgeht und sich die Frage verlegt, seit wenn dieses, seit wann jenes Kennzeichen ange geben wird, se hat man die ganze Geschichte der Mineralogie vor Augen.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Nowadays, transition metal-oxides can be considered the most investigated materials especially in their nanostructured forms thanks to their intrinsic smart properties and to the positive effects induced by scaling their dimension down to the nanoscale. Among them, ZnO and TiO2 have attracted particular interest mainly because of their multi-functionality applicable in an enormous range of research fields. , The present Special Issue &ndash, composed by twenty-seven papers, both reviews and research articles - covers the most recent advances in ZnO and TiO2 nanostructures, concerning not only their synthesis and characterization, but also reports of the manner(s) in which their functional and smart properties can be applied in working devices. Applications of such nanostructures can range widely, from biomedical and drug delivery devices to piezoelectric and chemical sensors, and energy harvesting, conversion, and storage devices.  ,_,

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide band gap semiconductor with an energy gap of 3.37 eV at room temperature. It has been used considerably for its catalytic, electrical, optoelectronic, and photochemical properties. ZnO nanomaterials, such as quantum dots, nanorods, and nanowires, have been intensively investigated for their important properties. Many methods have been described in the literature for the production of ZnO nanostructures, such as laser ablation, hydrothermal methods, electrochemical deposition, sol-gel methods, chemical vapour deposition, molecular beam epitaxy, the common thermal evaporation method, and the soft chemical solution method. The present Special Issue is devoted to the synthesis and characterization of ZnO nanostructures with novel technological applications._,

Excerpt from Zinc Cyanide Plating SolutionsThe additional amount of sodium cyanide to be used is easily determined by multiplying the amount of zinc cyanide to be re placed by zinc oxide, by Q. 84. The total cyanide to be used will then be equal to this plus the original content of sodium cyanide.The amount of sodium hydroxide required is Simply the origi nally specified amount minus the amount of zinc oxide used.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
