High-Throughput Analysis A Tool for Combinatorial Materials Science

This is the first practical reference book that covers state of the art analytical methods, instrumentation and data processing techniques used for high-throughput analysis of new materials in combinatorial chemistry and materials science beyond the pharmaceutical area. This book demonstrates how these techniques are applied for development of new materials on combinatorial scale and for scale-up of combinatorial materials leads. The book is written by an international team of contributing authors and consists of 27 chapters that detail the most recent advances in optical imaging and spectroscopy; separations and mass spectrometry; sensors and sensor arrays; analysis of mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties; electrochemical analysis; fabrication of combinatorial libraries; data management, and scale-up of combinatorially discovered materials. High-Throughput Analysis provides multi-disciplinary practitioners and beginners with a treatment of the principles, methodology, and characteristics of instrumentation for high-throughput analysis in order to stimulate further research in this rapidly expanding field. Included as a special feature is a CD-ROM that demonstrates the ease of use of the techniques described in the book.Potyrailo, Radislav A. is the author of 'High-Throughput Analysis A Tool for Combinatorial Materials Science' with ISBN 9780306477584 and ISBN 0306477580.
