Hansen Solubility Parameters

In this new edition, Charles M. Hansen invites five renowned experts to share their innovative work on novel topics such as using statistical thermodynamics to confirm existing HSPs, reconciling HSP with other thermodynamic theories, predicting the behavior of carbon dioxide, environmental stress cracking, absorption and diffusion in polymers, and other insight on future applications in biological materials, controlled release, nanotechnology, and self-assembly. The book highlights recent findings on interactions with DNA, and other novel applications of HSPs, such as ozone-safe solvents, protective clothing, drug delivery systems, and petroleum applications.
