The cross-fertilization of physico-chemical and mathematical ideas has a long historical tradition. This title is dedicated to a conference on 'Mathematics in Chemical Kinetics and Engineering' (MaCKiE-2007), which was held in Houston in February 2007, bringing together about 40 mathematicians, chemists, and chemical engineers from 10 countries.

Focuses on control and optimisation of process systems. This title offers reviews that combine descriptive chemistry and mechanistic insight and yield an understanding of how the chemistry drives the properties.

Sorption Enhancement of Chemical Processes, Volume 51 compiles the latest, state-of-the-art progress in the area of sorption enhanced processes. Topics in this updated volume include Sorption-enhanced water-gas-shift and steam methane reforming, CO2 sorbents for sorption enhanced steam reforming, Reactor design for Sorption Enhanced Reforming using Ca-Cu chemical loops, Sorption-enhanced reaction with Simulated Moving Bed reactor (SMBR) and PermSMBR technologies, and the Process design and Technoeconomic assessment of sorption enhanced systems. This series contains contributions from leading scientists on the topics presented, providing tactics on a multiscaling approach, from materials, to reactor, to process design.Contains reviews by leading authorities in their respective areas Presents up-to-date reviews of sorption enhancement of chemical processesIncludes a broad mix of U.S. and European authors, as well as academic, industrial and research institute perspectives

Thermochemical Process Engineering, the latest edition in the Advances in Chemical Engineering, provides up-to-date information, comprehensively presenting updates in a systematic fashion that has made the series of great importance to organic chemists, polymer chemists, and many biological scientists since its inception in 1960. The series includes contributions from established authorities in the field who combine descriptive chemistry and mechanistic insight to create an understanding on how the chemistry drives the properties.Contains reviews by leading authorities in their respective areasPresents up-to-date reviews of the latest techniques in the modeling of catalytic processesIncludes a broad mix of US and European authors, as well as academic, industrial, and research institute perspectivesProvides discussions on the connections between computation and experimental methods

Soft Robotics aims at providing state of art on research and potential approaches of soft robotics. It particularly challenges the traditional thinking of engineers, as the confluence of technologies, ranging from new materials, sensors, actuators and production techniques to new design tools, will make it possible to create new systems whose structures are almost completely made of soft materials, which bring about entirely new functions and behaviors, similar in many ways to natural systems. This is a huge research topic, "hot” and with a huge potential due to new possibilities offered by these systems to cope with problems that cannot be addressed by robots built from rigid bodies.Chemical engineering can take part to the emerging field of soft roboticsSoft and polymer materials can be used in sensing applicationsSoft robotics can solve many industrial issues and challenges
