Book Description

Publication Date: August 22, 2005 | ISBN-10: 3540253173 | ISBN-13: 978-3540253174 | Edition: 1

The audience for this thorough overview includes advanced undergraduates and postgraduate researchers in macromolecular sciences who can benefit from more familiarity with the use of X-ray diffraction for obtaining structural information on biological substances, natural and synthetic high polymeric materials. X-Ray Diffraction by Macromolecules comprises three parts: fundamental, experimental and analytical, and the volume as a whole may serve as an intermediate textbook to bridge the treatments found in primers and specialist works. It presents a thorough treatment of principles and applications, and gives full, practical details on experimental methods and the treatment of results, along with many examples of actual analysis.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Advanced undergraduates and postgraduate researchers in macromolecular sciences not afford to unfamiliar with X-ray diffractions for obtaining structural information on biological substances, natural and synthetic high polymeric materials. This book is divided into three parts: fundamental, experimental and analytical, and the volume as a whole is intended as an intermediate textbook to bridge the gap between primers and specialist works. It presents a thorough treatment of principles and applications, and give full, practical details of experimental methods and treatment of results, many including examples of actual analysis.
