Combinatorial and high-throughput discovery and optimization of catalysts and materials.9780849336690 Combinatorial and high-throughput discovery and optimization of catalysts and materials. Ed. by Radislav A. Potyrailo and Wilhelm F. Maier. CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Checking) An error checking technique used to ensure the accuracy of transmitting digital data. The transmitted messages are divided into predetermined lengths which, used as dividends, are divided by a fixed divisor. / Taylor & Francis 2007 473 pages $199.95 Hardcover Critical reviews in combinatorial chemistry Combinatorial chemistry involves the rapid synthesis or the computer simulation of a large number of different but structurally related molecules. Introduction Synthesis of molecules in a combinatorial fashion can quickly lead to large numbers of molecules. series TA403 Combinatorial materials science materials science Study of the properties of solid materials and how those properties are determined by the material's composition and structure, both macroscopic and microscopic. involves using advanced materials Advanced Materials is a leading peer-reviewed materials science journal published every two weeks. Advanced Materials includes Communications, Reviews, and Feature Articles from the cutting edge of materials science, including topics in chemistry, physics, fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. methods which produce a large number of different materials on a substrate in one experiment under identical conditions, thus allowing for screening for desired physical properties by high-throughput characterization tools such as parallel or fast sequential methods. Among the issues addressed by the 23 chapters on combinatorial materials science presented in this volume by Potyrailo (General Electric Global Research Center, US) and Maier (technical chemistry, Saarland U., Germany) are: the level of acceleration in materials development adequate in combinatorial experiments, whether robotic manipulations of material libraries can be utilized to replace human-guided materials research, adequate levels of automation, and whether complex materials have become the subject of successful high-throughput studies. The chapters are presented in sections covering general aspects, catalysis catalysis Modification (usually acceleration) of a chemical reaction rate by addition of a catalyst, which combines with the reactants but is ultimately regenerated so that its amount remains unchanged and the chemical equilibrium of the conditions of the reaction is not , development of functional polymers, energy-related materials development, electronic materials development, and optic materials development.
