High Performance Pigments

With their versatility and varying characteristics, high performance pigments have become increasingly important in recent years, with a growth rate well in advance of the more classical types of pigments. The new edition of the classic book provides up-to-date information on the market for high performance pigments, synthesis, reaction mechanisms, physical and chemical properties, applications, regulatory affairs, toxicology and ecotoxicology. It is the only one on the market covering all high performance pigments in a single volume, offering both producers and users of High Performance Pigments the opportunity to review and update their understanding of the latest technologies and market issues, together with assessing key regulatory affairs, in this specialty niche of the chemical industry. From reviews of the first edition (edited by Hugh M. Smith): "Anyone seeking up-to-date information about the physical-chemical principles of high performance pigments and their special technical properties will find that this book gives an excellent survey of relevant aspects" Angewandte Chemie International Edition. "This book will effectively help chemists, physicists, engineers and material scientists to stay ahead in this fast-changing field". sterreichische Chemie "...Wiley-VCH has assembled an international team of high performance experts... This is an enjoyable and stimulating read and beautifully produced. You will find it fascinating - don't miss it."
