Book Description
Scientists, engineers, and technologists in many fields need a knowledge of chemistry because of the importance of chemistry in diverse technologies-electronics and communications, energy sources and conservation, waste handling and pollution abatement, biotechnology, molecular biology, and the development of pharmaceuticals, biologicals, and chemotherapeutic methodologies. In addition, to “classical” topics of chemistry, the new Encyclopedia covers nanotechnology, fuel cell technology, green chemistry, forensic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, combinatorial chemistry, materials chemistry, and proteomics.
