Combinatorial and High-Throughput Discovery and Optimization of Catalysts and Materials

The development of parallel synthesis and high-throughput characterization tools offer scientists effective methods that can accelerate traditional synthesis processes and expose the structure-property relationships of multiple materials under variable conditions. This book documents the impact being made with combinatorial methods for materials applications Included are techniques for the preparation, formulation, fabrication, optimization, performance testing, and evaluation of polymeric, organic, and inorganic materials. It also explores innovative methods and active research in intelligent software for data storage, data mining, and informatics.
