This new volume, Chemical Technology and Informatics in Chemistry with Applications, reflects the huge breadth and diversity in research and the application of industrial and engineering chemistry and cheminformatics. The book presents cutting-edge research developments that present new insights and that emphasize the vibrancy of industrial and engineering chemistry and cheminformatics today.
Several chapters examine various industrial processes for emerging materials and determine practical use under a wide range of conditions, helping to establish what is needed to produce a new generation of materials. Other chapters focus on the informatics approach to chemical science.
The first section of the book focuses on new insights in engineering chemistry while the second part chemical informatics looks at the promising future and novel approaches in this emerging field that has vast implications for industrial and pharmaceutical applications.
