Taylor & Francis Inc Bicontinuous Liquid Crystals
Book SynopsisWith the development of diverse analytical chemistry techniques, the discovery of rich and numerous properties pertaining to bicontinuous liquid crystal structures has yielded beneficial applications in medicine, consumer products, materials science, and biotechnology. Presenting contributions from 24 experts worldwide, Bicontinuous Liquid Crystals presents a comprehensive overview of these structures with a practical approach to applying them in manufacturing and laboratory processes. This book considers the cubic, mesh, ribbon, and sponge equilibrium phases of bicontinuous structures. It begins with a historical perspective and a theoretical platform for study, followed by a detailed discussion of physical chemistry, properties, and structural characteristics of the different phases. The text interrelates the most useful analytical methods for the characterization of the behavior and stability of liquid crystalline phases based on structure, geometry, composition-dependent changes, temperature, dispersion, and other factors. These techniques include differential geometry, thermodynamics, local and global packing, and the study of conformational entropy. The book also highlights tools for mathematically visualizing bicontinuous systems. This provides an excellent foundation for the authors' examination of the latest studies and applications, such as controlled release, materials development, fabrication, processing, polymerization, protein crystallization, membrane fusion, and treatment of human skin. Bicontinuous Liquid Crystals represents current trends and innovative ideas in the study of bicontinuous liquid crystals. Divided into three sections, it provides a complete overview of theoretical and modeling aspects, physical chemistry and characterization, and applications in this active field of research.Table of ContentsPreface.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Crystallography: Introduction to the Study of
Book SynopsisThis textbook presents an extensive manual of crystallography, including geometric crystallography, crystallochemistry, and crystallophysics. Illustrated with a wealth of figures and diagrams, it offers a thorough introduction to crystals for undergraduate and graduate students interested in learning the essentials and advanced concepts of crystallography.The book begins with basic concepts such as the geometry, morphology and symmetry of lattices, allowing readers to approach the subject from a mathematical point of view, abstracting it from its material content. In turn, the second part focuses on crystallochemistry and explains the differences between ideal and real crystals, and between static and dynamic ones. The third part of the textbook concerns crystallophysics and addresses the electrical, magnetic, mechanical, elastic and optical properties of crystals, as well as the fundamental laws and methods of X-ray diffraction.Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION GEOMETRIC CRYSTALLOGRAPHY 1.- INTRODUCTION TO CRYSTALLOGRAPHY 2.- PERIODICITY, CRYSTAL LATTICE, SYMBOLS AND NOTATIONS 3.- LATTICES AND SYMMETRY 4.- POINT SYMMETRY5.- SPACE GROUPS CRYSTALLOCHEMISTRY 6.- CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURES.

De Gruyter Modern X-Ray Analysis on Single Crystals: A
Book SynopsisAn excellent book for professional crystallographers! In 2012 the crystallographic community celebrated 100 years of X-ray diffraction in honour of the pioneering experiment in 1912 by Max von Laue, Friedrich and Knipping. Experimental developments e.g. brilliant X-ray sources, area detection, and developments in computer hardware and software have led to increasing applications in X-ray analysis. This completely revised edition is a guide for practical work in X-ray analysis. An introduction to basic crystallography moves quickly to a practical and experimental treatment of structure analysis. Emphasis is placed on understanding results and avoiding pitfalls. Essential reading for researchers from the student to the professional level interested in understanding the structure of molecules.

Oxford University Press Symmetry of Crystals and Molecules
Book SynopsisAn eminently readable book on the symmetry of crystals and molecules, starting from first principles.Trade ReviewThe content is comprehensive, covering symmetry operations, stereographic projection, application to X-ray diffraction, group theory, as well as spectroscopy ... the book shines with instructional discussions of several problem sets ... I find reason to recommend the book ... I am glad to see it on my bookshelf * Angewandte Chemie International Edition, *This book successfully combines a thorough treatment of molecular and crystalline symmetry with a simple and informal writing style. By means of familiar examples the author helps to provide the reader with those conceptual tools necessary for the development of a clear understanding of what are often regarded as 'difficult' topics. * Christopher Hammond, University of Leeds *This book should tell you everything you need to know about crystal and molecular symmetry. Ladd adopts an integrated approach so that the relationships between crystal symmetry, molecular symmetry and features of chemical interest are maintained and reinforced. The theoretical aspects of bonding and symmetry are also well represented, as are symmetry-dependent physical properties and the applications of group theory. The comprehensive coverage will make this book a valuable resource for a broad range of readers. * Alexander Blake, School of Chemistry, University of Nottingham *I marvel at the comprehensive detail and rigour ... I see this book becoming essential reading, if not prescribed for intensive study. * Jan Boeyens, University of Pretoria *The book really shines, with clear and precise definitions given for point groups, lattices and space groups - ideal reading for any budding crystallographer who wonders what all those columns in the International tables for crystallography are for. * Chemistry World *Table of Contents1. Symmetry everywhere ; 2. Geometry of crystals and molecules ; 3. Point group symmetry ; 4. Lattices ; 5. Space groups ; 6. Symmetry and x-ray diffraction ; 7. Elements of group theory ; 8. Applications of group theory ; 9. Computer-assisted studies ; Appendices
