Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology The Third Edition of the Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology is built on the solid foundation of the previous editions. All of the articles have been rewritten and updated and many new subjects have been added to reflect changes in chemical technology through the 1970s. The new edition however will be familiar to users of the earlier editions: comprehensive, authoritative, accessible, lucid. The Encyclopedia remains an indispensable information source for all producers and users of chemical products and materials. In the Third Edition emphasis is given to major present-day topics of concern to all chemists, scientists, and engineers—energy, health, safety, toxicology, and new materials. New subjects have been added especially to polymer and plastics technology, fuels and energy, inorganic and solid-state chemistry, composite materials, coating, fermentation and enzymes, pharmaceuticals, surfactant technology, fibers, and textiles. Excerpts from reviews of the Third Edition "…invaluable…should find a place in all libraries used by chemists." —Microchemical Journal "…‘bible’ of chemical technologists…normally a part of any library," —Electrochemical Progress "…initial volume…an excellent start in bringing forth new knowledge in composite form." —Journal of the American Chemical Society "…a whole new encyclopedia…well illustrated…really impressed with the quality." —Chemical Engineering "…an invaluable source of authoritative information…" —Chemical Processing "Kirk-Othmer is universally regarded as a reference work of par excellence. It stands supreme in the field of chemical technology…" —The Chemical Engineer "Libraries that can afford the investment…would be well advised to make room for this valuable source." —Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
