This book focuses on the chemistry of additives for high performance
applications and a large number of chemical formulas are displayed in
the text. The additives applications include:
- Analysis and separation techniques, such as high performance liquid
chromatography, for example ionic liquids.
- Additives for electrical applications, such as capacitors,
electrokinetic micropumps, lithium-ion batteries, and other battery
types.
- Additives for solar cells for control of the active layer
nanomorphology are documented as are additives for electrolyte
membranes, fuel cells, such as membrane exchange humidifiers and
coolant additives.
- Medical applications include high performance additives for the
manufacture of scaffolds, controlled drug release, and nanofibers.
- Additives for lubricants including the deposit control, anti-wear
additives, fluid loss control additives in drilling applications.
- Additives for concrete uses such as set retarders, curing
accelerators, defoamers, permeability control additives, and corrosion
protection additives.
