From Chemical Philosophy to Theoretical Chemistry: Dynamics of Matter and Dynamics of Disciplines, 1800-1950

Book Description

How did chemistry and physics acquire their separate identities, and are they on their way to losing them again? Mary Jo Nye has written a graceful account of the historical demarcation of chemistry from physics and subsequent reconvergences of the two, from Lavoisier and Dalton in the late eighteenth century to Robinson, Ingold, and Pauling in the mid-twentieth century.
Using the notion of a disciplinary "identity" analogous to ethnic or national identity, Nye develops a theory of the nature of disciplinary structure and change. She discusses the distinctive character of chemical language and theories and the role of national styles and traditions in building a scientific discipline. Anyone interested in the history of scientific thought will enjoy pondering with her the question of whether chemists of the mid-twentieth century suspected chemical explanation had been reduced to physical laws, just as Newtonian mechanical philosophers had envisioned in the eighteenth century.

Book Description

A Practical Guide to Understanding the NMR of Polymers presents an introduction to the theory and practice of NMR, and includes sections on the fundamental principles of NMR and the applications to polymers. This book will help readers understand how these methods can be used to determine the chemical structure of polymers that influences the macroscopic properties. Solid state NMR methods are introduced to enable the readers to measure the structure of polymers on longer length scales. It is also shown how NMR is used to measure the molecular dynamics that can be related to the mechanical properties of polymers.

Book Description

NMR Spectroscopy of Polymers places emphasis on the practical use of NMR spectroscopy in polymer chemistry rather than the theoretical treatments. Based on the authors' extensive experimental experience, topics covered include (1) experimental problems such as preparation of sample solution, selection of solvent, internal standard and tube, and contaminants in sample solution, (2) accuracy and precision of NMR measurements required in the analysis of polymer structure such as tacticity, copolymer composition and chain end structures, (3) volume magnetic susceptibility by NMR, (4) stereochemistry of polymer chains, chemical composition and comonomer sequence distribution in copolymers, and end groups and irregular linkages, (5) on-line coupled size exclusion chromatography(SEC) and NMR spectroscopy(SEC/NMR) in which an NMR spectrometer is set in the SEC system as a detector.

Book Description

While for many years NMR spectroscopy was one of the most useful methods of analyzing smaller molecules, nowadays it is an indispensable tool in determining the structure of complex biomolecules too. One reason for this is not least the development of increasingly powerful appliances that enabled this complicated analysis using tiny amounts of the substances in the first place. Just as the image of a 2D spectrum allows an insight into the spatial structure of a molecule, the chronological examination of an NMR experiment enables the description of the molecular dynamics. It is only by explaining such characteristics that we can really come to understand the functioning of biomolecules.
This book is neither a purely analytical nor bioorganic work, and as such fills a gap for everybody working in determining the structure of carbohydrates and their conjugates. In a clearly comprehensible manner, the text summarizes the latest knowledge surrounding the use of NMR spectroscopy with such biologically important substance classes as polysaccharides, glycoproteins and glycolipides. Furthermore, it provides an insight into the interactions with other biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids or carbohydrates. A valuable guide for all glucochemists.

Book Description

NMR spectroscopy is the most valuable and versatile analytical tool in chemistry. While excellent monographs exist on high-resolution NMR in liquids and solids, this is the first book to address multidimensional solid-state NMR. Multidimensional techniques enable researchers to obtain detailed information about the structure, dynamics, orientation, and phase separation of solids, which provides the basis of a better understanding of materials properties on the molecular level.Dramatic progress-much of it pioneered by the authors-has been achieved in this area, especially in synthetic polymers. Solid-state NMR now favorably competes with well-established techniques, such as light, x-ray, or neutron scattering, electron microscopy, and dielectric and mechanical relaxation.
The application of multidimensional solid-state NMR inevitably involves use of concepts from different fields of science. This book also provides the first comprehensive treatment of both the new experimental techniques and the theoretical concepts needed in more complex data analysis. The text addresses spectroscopists and polymer scientists by treating the subject on different levels; descriptive, technical, and mathematical approaches are used when appropriate. It presents an overview of new developments with numerous experimental examples and illustrations, which will appeal to readers interested in both the information content as well as the potential of solid-state NMR. The book also contains many previously unpublished details that will be appreciated by those who want to perform the experiments. The techniques described are applicable not only to the study of synthetic polymers but to numerous problems in solid-state physics, chemistry, materials science, and biophysics.

Key Features
* Presents original theories and new perspectives on scattering techniques
* Provides a systematic treatment of the whole subject
* Gives readers access to previously unpublished material
* Includes extensive illustrations

good reference book.......2005-03-11

Definitely a very comprehensive textbook which treats many relevant and modern advances in the field. A must-have for every researcher in solid state NMR. Downside is that the book is written in the style of a reference book, and not really good as teaching material. But overall I give it 4 stars. Michael Mehring's book on solid state nmr is still the best teaching manual to learn the theory.

highly recommended.......2001-06-27

One of the best books on solid-state NMR currently published. The authors present a thorough overview of theory of solids NMR with the focus on applications in polymer science. Would be one of my first choices for a graduate level textbook in solid-state NMR. Targeted at an intermediate reader familiar with the basic concepts of NMR. Highly recommended

Book Description

NMR is used in all areas of modern science, and its applications continue to grow. In 1995 we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the discovery of NMR Spectroscopy and almost 30 years since the appearance of the firstvolume of Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy. During these years, a large and diverse collection of topics have been covered, and the contents of Volume 34 are no exception. This volume consists of six chapters covering a wide range of polymer science topics. Each chapter demonstrates the unique ability of NMR to provide information of both general and special interests.

Wizards with spelling difficulties, witches with attitude, a raving 60's rock band on a trip to another dimension, a convent full of sex-hungry nuns, randy royalty, dragons on the make, even lumps in the plaster . and these are only a few of the problems faced by Zolin the bewildered trainee wizard and Ajax the small town carpenter when their dimensiverses collide. Zany Barry Ireland picks up where the late Douglas Adams left off his blockbusting Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series, and throws improbability into overdrive. A rare Laugh Out Loud book which might be embarrassing to read in the company of strangers in a railway carriage or to remember at board meetings and funerals. Ireland's hilariously peopled worlds are dangerous to the health of tummy muscles and funny bones.
