With British tradition,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Colour Chemistry (RSC Paperbacks) (Paperback)
Britain has the tradition of producing better chemistry textbooks. This one by Royal Society of Chemistry successfully reveals the chemistry basis of colors.The opening history coverage reflects the spirit that "tradition matters". Perkins's dye Mauveine was the origin and humble beginning of today's dominant organic chemistry industry. Pressing environmental issues are mentioned in the manufacture and use of color in the closing chapter. Chapter 2 focuses on the physical and chemical basis of colors where a lot of confusion can be clarified and misunderstanding corrected. The book groups dyes and pigments by chemical structures with special reference to their industrial importance and applications in textiles, coatings and plastics, and also "high-tech" fields. The chemical synthesis of them is also described with examples among which the treatment of azo dyes is a classic example of mechanism-based organic reaction optimization. The chapter of "high-tech" dyes and pigments will certainly impress the readers with the following applications in our modern daily lives: LCD, DVD-R, Lasers, Solar energy conversion, photocopy, laser printing, ink-jet printing and photodynamic therapy. Will it be perfect if the publisher can show / print each dye structure in its corresponding color? Or will it be close to perfection if they can add absorption wavelength or indicate its color for each dye structure without mounting cost in the other proposal? |
