1. ed.

This book shows how infrared spectroscopy is used to study a considerable variety of materials and phenomena of chemical biological and industrial importance. It does this very well, comprehensively, and with a wealth of detail, through fourteen authoritative contributions. Most are based on presentations commemorating the founding of the Coblentz Society, but the book is considerably more than a compilation of lectures at a symposium. Each contribution addresses a type of study through description of one or more specific investigations. This makes it possible for the reader to obtain introductions to application areas, particularly infrared studies of pesticides, surfaces, biological systems, natural and synthetic membranes, thin films, mineral/organic blends, fuels, organo-silicon compounds, and to the use of infrared methods in studying order-disorder phenomena and structural relaxation. While this is not a complete list of relevant applications of infrared spectroscopy, and the breadths of the descriptions necessarily are limited in order to provide more depth on the specific subjects, the overall approach is successful.
