Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, (retired), Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, India
This book is a laboratory companion to Chemistry of Natural Products: A Unified Approach, which was extensively revised and enlarged. Material in the text can be explored from a practical perspective using this revised edition of the laboratory handbook.
The second edition of a bestseller, this book discusses the common structural and stereochemical features of naturally occurring organic compounds. It includes a variety of examples to illustrate varied aspects. The author explores the increasing application of physical (spectroscopic) methods like IR, NMR, CD, ORD, and MS, without undermining the importance of classical chemical methods. The section on problem solving helps to develop an analytical and critical evaluation of the data.
The first edition of the handbook, published in 2003, has been sold out, but ongoing demand for it prompted the publication of this edition. Several experimental procedures described in it are unique in the sense that they are not readily available in other books on practical organic chemistry. Additional experiments have been added to this edition as explained in the accompanying preface. The chemistry of natural products can be fully appreciated and enjoyed only by combining theoretical knowledge in the classroom with experimentation in the laboratory. This can be accomplished through the use of this laboratory handbook, which provides procedural details of the varied aspects of natural organic compounds.

Written by established professors, this highly recommended edition focuses in on polymer properties at the molecular level. The authors discuss chemical structures, synthesis, characterization, and properties. The text builds upon principles taught in undergraduate chemistry courses, particularly organic and physical chemistry. Mathematical tools, fully derived problems, and wellorganized content can be scaled to meet the needs of introductory and advanced courses in chemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering. Each chapter contains a chapter summary and problems. A solutions manual is available upon qualifying course adoption

Colloids and Interfaces in Life Sciences and Bionanotechnology Second Edition Willem Norde Wageningen University, The Netherlands, and University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlands
This classroom-tested reference presents a concise introductory treatment of the physicochemical principles that determine interrelated colloidal and interfacial phenomena and their relevance to various life sciences. The book focuses on concepts that form the basis for understanding this behavior. It deciphers the spontaneous assembly of amphiphilic molecules and discusses the intentional fouling of surfaces for the immobilization of cells in bioreactors. It also devotes special attention to reversible and soft colloids and examines the colloidal domain in a historical perspective, the size and distribution of particles, electrokinetic phenomena, and more. • Supposes a basic knowledge of physical chemistry and mathematical calculus • Contains many illustrations to supplement the text • Includes numerous examples that stress the relevance for practical applications • Focuses on physiochemical concepts of colloidal systems in the life sciences
Selected Contents: Introduction. Colloidal Particles: Shapes and Size Distributions. Some Thermodynamic Principles and Relations, with Special Attention to Interfaces Water. Interfacial Tension. Curvature and Capillarity. Monolayers at Fluid Interfaces. Wetting of Solid Surfaces. Electrochemistry of Interfaces. Electrokinetic Phenomena. Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Molecules. Polymers. Proteins. Adsorption. Adsorption of (Bio)Polymers, with Special Emphasis on Globular Proteins. Stability of Lyophobic Colloids against Aggregation. Emulsions and Foams. Physicochemical Properties of Biological Membranes. Bioadhesion. Catalog no. K10890, June 2011, 495 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4398-1718-6, $134.95 / £39.99 Also available as an eBook
