SMALL-ANGLE SCATTERINGA comprehensive and timely volume covering contemporary research, practical techniques, and theoretical approaches to SAXS and SANSSmall-Angle Scattering: Theory, Instrumentation, Data, and Applications provides authoritative coverage of both small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and grazing incidence small-angle scattering (GISAS) including GISAXS and GISANS. This single-volume resource offers readers an up-to-date view of the state of the field, including the theoretical foundations, experimental methods, and practical applications of small-angle scattering (SAS) techniques including laboratory and synchrotron SAXS and reactor/spallation SANS.Organized into six chapters, the text first describes basic theory, instrumentation, and data analysis. The following chapters contain in-depth discussion on various applications of SAXS and SANS and GISAXS and GISANS, and on specific techniques for investigating structure and order in soft materials, biomolecules, and inorganic and magnetic materials. Author Ian Hamley draws from his more than thirty years' experience working with many systems, instruments, and types of small-angle scattering experiments across most European facilities to present the most complete introduction to the field available. This book:* Presents uniquely broad coverage of practical and theoretical approaches to SAXS and SANS* Includes practical information on instrumentation and data analysis* Offers useful examples and an accessible and concise presentation of topics* Covers new developments in the techniques of SAXS and SANS, including GISAXS and GISANSSmall-Angle Scattering: Theory, Instrumentation, Data, and Applications is a valuable source of detailed information for researchers and postgraduate students in the field, as well as other researchers using X-ray and neutron scattering to investigate soft materials, other nanostructured materials and biomolecules such as proteins.

Provides an interdisciplinary introduction to peptide science, covering their properties and synthesis, as well as many contemporary applicationsPeptides are biomolecules comprised of amino acids which play an important role in modulating many physiological processes in our body. This book presents an interdisciplinary approach and general introduction to peptide science, covering contemporary topics including their applicability in therapeutics, peptide hormones, amyloid structures, self-assembled structures, hydrogels, and peptide conjugates including lipopeptides and polymer-peptide conjugates. In addition, it discusses basic properties and synthesis clearly and concisely.Taking a logical approach to the subject, Introduction to Peptide Science gives readers the fundamental knowledge that is required to understand the cutting-edge material which comes later in the book. It offers readers in-depth chapter coverage of the basic properties of peptides; synthesis; amyloid and peptide aggregate structures; antimicrobial peptides and cell-penetrating peptides; and peptide therapeutics and peptide hormones.* Introduces readers to peptide science, including synthesis and properties* Provides unique content covering properties, synthesis, self-assembly, aggregation, and applications* Summarizes contemporary topics in an accessible fashion including applications in therapeutics, peptide hormones, amyloid structures, self-assembled structures, hydrogels, and peptide conjugates including lipopeptides* Presented at an introductory level for the benefit of students and researchers who are new to the subjectIntroduction to Peptide Science is an ideal text for undergraduate students of chemistry, biochemistry, and other related biological subjects, and will be a valuable resource for postgraduate students and researchers involved in peptide science and its applications.

Introduction to Soft Matter, Revised Edition: Synthetic and Biological Self-Assembling Materials provides an introduction to this exciting subject with chapters covering natural and synthetic polymers, colloids, surfactants, and liquid crystals highlighting the many and varied applications of these materials.

A unique text discussing solution self-assembly of block copolymers, covering all aspects from basic physical chemistry to applications in soft nanotechnology. It covers the principles of self-assembly in both dilute and concentrated solution (micellization, mesophase formation etc).
