Initially written to pull together scattered literature in polymer science and textile technology, the first edition of Coated Textiles: Principles and Applications became a gold standard resource in this field. Completely revised and updated, this second edition reflects not only the latest developments in the field, but also explores future possibilities. The book covers the materials used in coatings and their chemistry, textile substrates, coating methods, properties of fabrics after coating, rheology of coating, applications of coated fabrics, and test methods in chronological...

Mass Spectrometry is a technique that determines the molecular weight (mass) and elemental composition of a compound accurately. It records relative abundance (number of different kinds of ions) and mass/charge (m/e) ratio. An advantage of Mass Spectrometry is its ability to identify the unknown compounds using only pictogram (10-12) amounts. Because ions are very reactive and short-lived, their formation and manipulation must be conducted in a vacuum. Atmospheric pressure is around 760 torr (mm of mercury). The pressure under which ions may be handled is roughly 10-5 to 10-8 torr (less than...

Analytical chemistry is a branch of chemistry that determines the nature and identity of a substance and its composition. Analytical methods are ability to provide timely, accurate, and reliable data is central to the discovery, development, and manufacture of pharmaceuticals. The developed assay method was found to be simple, accurate, sensitive, precised, specific and rapid. This method can be applied for routine quantitative analysis of Paracetamol and Lornoxicam in pharmaceutical formulations like Tablet dosage form."
