Analytical Sample Preparation with Nano- And Other High-Performance Materials - by Rafael Lucena & M Soledad Cárdenas Aranzana (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Analytical Sample Preparation With Nano- and Other High-Performance Materials covers advanced sample treatment techniques and the new materials that can be used to boost their performance. The evolution of sample treatment over the last two decades has resulted in the development of new techniques and application of new materials. This is a must-have resource for those studying advanced analytical techniques and the role of high-performance materials in analytical chemistry. The book explains the underlying principles needed to properly understand sample preparation, and also examines the latest materials - including nanomaterials - that result in greater sensitivity and specificity.

The book begins with a section devoted to all the various sample preparation techniques and then continues with sections on high-performance sorbents and high-performance solvents.

Review Quotes

"....The book Analytical sample preparation with nano- and other high-performance materials is a well-worth read for all those interested in reducing the environmental impact of their SP methodologies and to newcomers to the SP feld. The book contains up-to-date information on recent miniaturized SP strategies, and on novel materials and liquids used in such strategies." --Analyltical and Bioanalytical Chemistry

"The book is of interest to a vast range of readers, from academic researchers (at all lev- els) involved in various fields of analytical chemistry (food, environmental, fuel, biological, etc.) to a plethora of indus- trial, clinical, and official control sectors.

The book is timely, considering the fast evolution and radical changes that are characterizing the field of sample preparation (and not only). It also covers a gap considering a comparison with existing literature. A high number of recent references (2021--2018) are reported. In general, I also like the book organization." --Springer
