Thermal Decomposition of Solids and Melts: New Thermochemical Approach to the Mechanism, Kinetics and Methodology (Hot Topics in Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry)

Thermal Decomposition of Solids and Melts: New Thermochemical Approach to the Mechanism, Kinetics and Methodology (Hot Topics in Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry)

This book covers the results of investigations into the mechanisms and kinetics of thermal decompositions of solid and liquid substances on the basis of thermochemical analyses of the processes. In the framework of the proposed ideas, the main features of these reactions are explained and many problems and unusual phenomena, which have accumulated in this field are interpreted. New methods of TA measurement and calculation have been developed, which permit the precision and accuracy of determination of kinetic parameters to be increased substantially. Reliable kinetic characteristics have been obtained and the decomposition mechanisms for several tens of substances have been interpreted. These include different classes of compounds: crystalline hydrates, oxides, hydroxides, nitrides, azides, nitrates, sulfates, carbonates and oxalates.

Innovations for our Future: Delphi ’98: New Foresight on Science and Technology

Product Description
Foresight has experienced a great upswing in the last few years, partly in view of the Millenium. Innovations for our Future describes not only the big development trends of the future in research and technology, but also the re-discovery of the Delphi method. The Delphi method is not new, but with further developed methodology it is being used increasingly to take stock of innovative future developments. The book describes results of the widespread national survey of 1998, a German-Japanese comparison, another comparison with the preceding Delphi study as well as its utilization and implementation.

Tribology of Polymeric Nanocomposites, Volume 55: Friction and Wear of Bulk Materials and Coatings

Product Description
The area of tribology deals with the design, friction, wear and lubrication of interacting surfaces in relative motion. Polymer nanocomposite materials are increasingly common and offer remarkable improvements in the friction and wear properties of both bulk materials and coatings.

This book gives a comprehensive description of polymeric nanocomposites, both as bulk materials and as thin surface coatings, and their behavior and potential use in tribological applications. It provides the preparation techniques, friction and wear mechanisms, properties of polymeric nanocomposites, characterization, evaluation and selection methodology. It also provides various examples of application of polymeric nanocomposites.

* Provides a complete reference from the preparation to the selection of polymeric nanocomposites
* Explains the theory through examples of real world applications
* More than 20 international tribology experts contribute to their area of expertise

Technology Valuation Solutions

Product Description
A better way to value the profitability and risk of R&D projects
New technology and R&D initiatives affect companies in both the service and manufacturing sector. It’s estimated that half a trillion dollars is spent worldwide each year on such efforts. Technology Valuation Solutions + CD-ROM offers a methodology along with illustrative cases for valuing the profitability and risk of R&D projects.
A companion to Boer’s earlier work, The Valuation of Technology (0-471-31638-5), this book provides additional material that will help readers assess a wide variety of projects and business scenarios. In addition to the in-depth case studies, this book includes a CD-ROM featuring valuation templates that readers can customize for their own individual needs.
F. Peter Boer (Boynton Beach, FL) is President and CEO of Tiger Scientific, Inc., a firm specializing in science and technology consulting and investments. Presently, he is actively engaged with several companies who are adopting option-based valuation methods to their R&D portfolios.
