The book by
Jayashree A. Parikh includes the major areas of applied chemistry related to
corrosion, alloys, fuels, composite materials, and green chemistry. Applied
chemistry textbook stresses the practical application of chemical principles to
real-world situations. Some of the mechanisms of corrosion along with its
prevention, properties, and applications of various alloys, in addition to the
importance of sustainability practices in the study of chemistry are presented
here. It is meant for that reader who would care to learn about the chemical
properties and how this affects the modern materials and the environmental
practices; green chemistry emphasis would focus on finding environmentally
friendly alternatives, making this resource very relevant and timely in the
field.
This concise set of notes by IITM
Murthal provides insight into applied chemistry, from essential topics such as
electrochemistry, types of electrolytes, and the principles that govern
oxidation and reduction, leading up to Faraday's laws of electrolysis and the
industrial applications of electrolysis, which is exactly why this can prove so
useful for interested students with a bent towards practical application in
industry. Notes on fuels, lubricants, polymers, and plastics round out the
treatment, giving a fuller appreciation of how chemistry interacts with everyday
materials. It is written for the engineering student, preparing them to apply
chemical principles in a variety of engineering environments.
