From the Publisher

The fast paced developments in the field of silicone analytical chemistry over the last 15 years have been tremendous, and the explosion of knowledge during that time has been phenomenal. Updates the latest findings in the field and presents them in a concise, yet comprehensive manner. Principles and general approaches to problems are stressed, and examples cited of some of the typical approaches to problems of current interest, including: polymers and compositions; trace analysis; personal care applications; chromatographic methods; infrared, Raman, near-infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy; nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy; mass spectrometry; and more. In addition, key references are cited for further reading.

From the Inside Flap

The new universe of innovative analytical techniques in chemistry—Fourier transform spectroscopy, near-infrared spectroscopy, a variety of surface analysis techniques, chemometrics and computerized instrumentation—has been matched in innovative velocity only by the phenomenal rise in uses for organosilicon materials. Indispensable as high-performance materials in industrial processes and products and in medical and biological applications, silicones offer a versatile new language for chemistry—whose syntax is understood through analytical technology. The Analytical Chemistry of Silicones is a guide to understanding the unique chemistry of organosilicon materials—a valuable compendium for chemists and engineers that covers techniques for analyzing, and analyzing for, organosilicon compounds. By frequently illustrating approaches with problems of current interest, the authors provide the reader with an up-to-the-minute glimpse into silicone chemistry’s full structural and analytical permutations. Inside, readers will find:

• Methods of analyzing for silicones —from parts per billion to 100%, both in bulk materials and on surfaces
• Analysis of products and formulations—from coatings and cosmetics to surfactants and textile treatments
• Analysis for traces of silicones—in foods, soil, water, air, medical devices, and biological samples
• Proven methods for analyzing organosilicon monomers and polymers for composition and structure
• Experimental methods for determining physical properties and polymer structure
• Microscopical characterization techniques—from optical to analytical electron microscopy
• Chromatographic, NMR, IR, mass spectrometric, atomic spectroscopic, and X-ray methods, and other key techniques—with emphasis on their uses in characterizing silicones
• Up-to-date tables of physical property data for many monomers and oligomers, GC response factors, IR group frequencies, and NMR shiftsA comprehensive bibliography of relevant literature citations, including titles

A synthesis of information and data heretofore unavailable in a single source, this first-of-a-kind resource allows chemical engineers or research chemists, analytical generalists, and analytical specialists—with varying degrees of familiarity with analytical chemistry or silicones—to become conversant with both the techniques of analysis and science of silicones, allowing for the swift and economical solution to analytical problems. Invaluable for its breadth of coverage and practical detail, The Analytical Chemistry of Silicones is the essential primer to the infinitely useful and unfolding chemistry of organosilicon materials.
