Beyond the Molecular Frontier - Committee on Challenges for the Chemical Sciences in the 21st Century
Challenges for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
KORTE INHOUD
Chemistry and chemical engineering have changed significantly in the last decade. They have broadened their scopea into biology, nanotechnology, materials science, computation, and advanced methods of process systems engineering and controla so much that the programs in most chemistry and chemical engineering departments now barely resemble the classical notion of chemistry. Beyond the Molecular Frontier brings together research, discovery, and invention across the entire spectrum of the chemical sciencesa from fundamental, molecular-level chemistry to large-scale chemical processing technology. This reflects the way the field has evolved, the synergy at universities between research and education in chemistry and chemical engineering, and the way chemists and chemical engineers work together in industry. The astonishing developments in science and engineering during the 20th century have made it possible to dream of new goals that might previously have been considered unthinkable. This book identifies th...
