Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainability, defined as the way to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future ones to meet their own, is one of the main challenges of modern society. Within this context, chemistry plays a significant role, and solvent nature as well as its environmental impact are pivotal issues frequently addressed. Ionic liquids, i.e. organic salts that have melting temperatures lower than 100 °C, have been frequently hailed as alternatives to conventional organic solvents. Their greenness has been mainly ascribed to their low vapor pressure and flammability. However, in addition to this, their high solubilizing ability and low miscibility with conventional organic solvents frequently allow for reducing the amount used, as well as for their recycling. Ionic liquids, especially the ones featured by aromatic cations, are frequently described as “polymeric supramolecular fluids” constructed through the establishment of feeble but cooperative supramolecular interactions like Coulomb and π-π interactions, as well as hydrogen bonds. In general, ionic liquids are also indicated as “designer solvents” as it is possible to tailor their features to specific applications by simply modifying their cation or anion structure. In this way, small changes in the ion’s structure can give rise to solvents showing very different properties. The above premises widely justify the growing interest in the properties and applications of ionic liquids, seen in recent literature (according to Scopus, more than 27,000 papers published in the last five years have “ionic liquids” as a keyword). Thanks to their properties, they have been variously used as solvent media, solvents for the obtainment of gel phases, components in the building of dye-sensitized solar cells, media for the preparation of thermochromic materials, etc. This Research Topic aims to present how structural features can determine not only the properties of ionic liquids, but also their possible employment. In this latter case, the interest arises from their ability to affect the outcome of a given reaction in terms of rate, yield, and nature of the products obtained for general use in the field of materials chemistry. This article collection is dedicated to Prof. Kenneth R. Seddon for his outstanding contribution to the formation and development of the ionic liquids community.

Download or read book Beyond the Molecular Frontier written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-03-19 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemistry and chemical engineering have changed significantly in the last decade. They have broadened their scopeâ€"into biology, nanotechnology, materials science, computation, and advanced methods of process systems engineering and controlâ€"so much that the programs in most chemistry and chemical engineering departments now barely resemble the classical notion of chemistry. Beyond the Molecular Frontier brings together research, discovery, and invention across the entire spectrum of the chemical sciencesâ€"from fundamental, molecular-level chemistry to large-scale chemical processing technology. This reflects the way the field has evolved, the synergy at universities between research and education in chemistry and chemical engineering, and the way chemists and chemical engineers work together in industry. The astonishing developments in science and engineering during the 20th century have made it possible to dream of new goals that might previously have been considered unthinkable. This book identifies the key opportunities and challenges for the chemical sciences, from basic research to societal needs and from terrorism defense to environmental protection, and it looks at the ways in which chemists and chemical engineers can work together to contribute to an improved future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science at the Frontier takes you on a journey through the minds of some of the nation's leading young scientists as they explore the most exciting areas of discovery today. Based on the second Frontiers of Science symposium sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences, this book describes recent accomplishments and new directions in ten basic fields, represented by outstanding scientists convening to discuss their research. It captures the excitement and personal quality of these exchanges, sometimes pointing to surprising connections spanning the boundaries of traditional disciplines, while providing a context for the reader that explains the basic scientific framework for the fields under discussion. The volume explores: New modifications to scientific theory as geologists probe deep inside the earth and astrophysicists reach to the limits of the observable universe for answers to some of nature's most fundamental and vexing questions. The influence of research in smog formation on the public debate about how to effectively control air pollution. The increasing use of computer modeling in science, from describing the evolution of cellular automata to revealing the workings of the human brain via neural networks. The rise of dynamical systems (the study of chaotic behavior in nature) to a full-fledged science. The search to understand the regulation of gene activity and the many biological problems-such as the onset of cancer-to which it applies. Recent progress in the quest to transform what we know about photosynthesis into functional, efficient systems to tap the sun's energy. Current developments in magnetic resonance imaging and its promise for new breakthroughs in medical diagnosis. Throughout this work the reader is witness to scientific discovery and debate centered on such common concerns as the dramatic and transforming effect of computers on scientists' thinking and research; the development of more cross-disciplinary perspectives; and the very nature of the scientific enterprise itself-what it is to be part of it, and its significance for society. Science at the Frontier is must reading for informed lay readers, scientists interested in fields other than their own, and science students considering a future specialization.

Download or read book University Chemistry written by James G. Anderson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 1877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new approach to teaching university-level chemistry that links core concepts of chemistry and physical science to current global challenges. Introductory chemistry and physics are generally taught at the university level as isolated subjects, divorced from any compelling context. Moreover, the “formalism first” teaching approach presents students with disembodied knowledge, abstract and learned by rote. By contrast, this textbook presents a new approach to teaching university-level chemistry that links core concepts of chemistry and physical science to current global challenges. It provides the rigorous development of the principles of chemistry but places these core concepts in a global context to engage developments in technology, energy production and distribution, the irreversible nature of climate change, and national security. Each chapter opens with a “Framework” section that establishes the topic’s connection to emerging challenges. Next, the “Core” section addresses concepts including the first and second law of thermodynamics, entropy, Gibbs free energy, equilibria, acid-base reactions, electrochemistry, quantum mechanics, molecular bonding, kinetics, and nuclear. Finally, the “Case Studies” section explicitly links the scientific principles to an array of global issues. These case studies are designed to build quantitative reasoning skills, supply the technology background, and illustrate the critical global need for the infusion of technology into energy generation. The text’s rigorous development of both context and scientific principles equips students for advanced classes as well as future involvement in scientific and societal arenas. University Chemistry was written for a widely adopted course created and taught by the author at Harvard.

Download or read book Novel Approaches to Design Eco friendly Materials Based on Natural Nanomaterials written by Aiqin Wang and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-08-12 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naturally available nanomaterials or those synthesized from natural resources become “new favorite” of material world due to their advantages of low cost, safety and environmental friendliness. They are honored as future “green materials” and widely used in fabricating various functional materials. Naturally available materials have been playing an increasingly important role in many fields such as environmental remediation, separation, catalysis, and polymer composites. This book collects latest research results on the new composites for environmental application, focusing on the study of fabricating functional composites using natural clay minerals. Naturally available materials or solid waste or minerals are good precursors for producing adsorbents. Composites based on sub-bituminous coal, lignite, and a blend of coal and Irvingia gabonensis seed shells, the Cl-type Mg-Al hydrotalcite (Cl-LDH), the hydroxyapatite decorated with carbon nanotube and Zirconium (Zr)-containing silica residue purification (ZSR-P) were proved to have good adsorption capability to Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions, antibiotic molecules, Cd(II), and fluoride, respectively. The nano-Mg(OH)2 loaded carbon cloth showed good separation effect for Eu(III), and the sodium-modified clinoptilolite showed good separation effect for CH4/N2 from coal bed gas. Also, natural nanoclay is an effective precursor for the preparation of inorganic-inorganic or organic-inorganic nano-hybrid materials. Using nano-kaolinite as a carrier, the inorganic-inorganic hybrid cobalt blue pigment with excellent color and stability can be obtained by surface co-precipitation and in-situ calcination crystallization process. The intercalation of 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC) molecules into the interlayer space of montmorillonite (MMT) can effectively inhibit fluorescence quenching and improve the detection effectiveness of Cr(VI) in water. The interlayer space of kaolinite can accommodate organic molecules to form an organic-inorganic hybrid composite. Natural clay minerals are also effective carriers for catalysts. Er3+:CeO2/palygorskite nanocomposites prepared by a facile precipitation method showed excellent desulfurization rate under visible light irradiation. The zero-valent iron-loaded nanoclays composite catalysts can degrade efficiently Rhodamine 6G (Rh 6G) under microwave irradiation. In addition, the polymer composites have been developed using natural palygorskite, montmorillonite nanosheets or silica nanoparticles as inorganic components, which are potential to be used in many fields such as packing, biomedicine, or rubber. With the increasing attention to clay minerals, research methods for the microstructure of clay minerals continue to receive attention. It is no doubt that natural materials have got a booming attention from researchers in mineralogy, materials science, chemistry, energy, biomedicine and other fields due to their advantages. However, there is still a long way to go to substitute traditional synthetic nanomaterials with natural ones, and there are still theoretical and technological limitation in the design and synthesis of new materials from natural materials. Related theoretical research and technological development require continuous exploration by researchers. This book has collected some recent advances in related research, and hopes to play a role in attracting more attention to the construction of functional materials from natural raw materials. It is also believed that through the unremitting efforts of all researchers, the dream of green materials and green preparation processes can be realized.
