Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Educating the next generation of chemists about green chemistry issues, such as waste minimisation and clean synthesis, is vital for environmental sustainability. This book enables green issues to be taught from the underlying principles of all chemistry courses rather than in isolation. Chapters contributed by green chemistry experts from across the globe, with experience in teaching at different academic levels, provide a coherent overview of possible approaches to incorporate green chemistry into existing curriculums. Split into three sections, the book first introduces sustainability and green chemistry education, before focussing on high school green chemistry education initiatives and green chemistry education at undergraduate and post-graduate levels. Useful laboratory experiments and in-class activities to aid teaching are included. This book is a valuable resource for chemical educators worldwide who wish to integrate green chemistry into chemical education in a systematic and holistic way. It is also of interest to anyone wanting to learn more about the different approaches adopted around the world in sustainability education.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In biotechnology and bioengineering, small molecules can be used to increase the efficiency reduce the cost and damage to the environment of certain bioprocesses. This book introduces readers to the important field of chemically promoted biotechnology and bioengineering and presents the theory behind the biotechnology of enzymatic reactions and how they can be chemically enhanced. The book covers chemical modulators for enzymatic reactions, chemically promoted biotechnology in plant cell cultures, chemically promoted biotechnology for plant protection and future prospects for the field. Knowledge gained allows both chemists to make use of biotechnology to solve chemical problems in an environmentally-friendly way, and biologists to make use of chemistry to increase biotechnological efficiency. This book is useful for scientists in a broad range of disciplines, including agricultural chemistry, pesticide science, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, bio-organic chemistry, cell and molecular biology. Students and researchers in both academia and industry will find it a useful handbook.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Recent advances in nanofabrication and subwavelength optical characterisation have led to significant new advances in plasmonics. In addition to traditional top-down nanofabrication techniques, chemical-based fabrication has emerged as an inexpensive and viable alternative with electrochemical and self-organisation methods for fabrication of plasmonic nanoparticles and extended plasmonic structures. This title will focus on areas where progress is expected to have a most significant impact on a whole area of nanoplasmonics and on commercial exploitation. Aiming to highlight the most recent breakthroughs in this multidisciplinary field and providing different perspectives of physicists, chemists and biologists, it will connect the various subdisciplines in the field and define the most challenging problems for the future.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Pharmaceutical companies are realizing that incorporation of green chemistry techniques at earlier stages of drug development can speed the development of a drug candidate. Edited by experts who have pioneered green chemistry efforts within their own institutions, this book provides a practical guide for both academic and industrial labs wanting to know where to start with introducing greener approaches and where to channel efforts for greatest return on investment. This book takes a comprehensive approach to the topic covering surrounding issues such as intellectual property. It covers the entire drug discovery process from molecule conception, through synthesis, formulation and toxicology with specific examples and case studies where green chemistry strategies have been implemented. Also addressed is green chemistry in biologics discovery, a cutting-edge topic. Ultimately, readers will learn how to incorporate green chemistry strategies into their everyday workflow without slowing down their science.…
