Monolithic Silicas in Separation Science - Concepts, Syntheses,
Characterization, Modeling and Applications
Book description
Edited by the experts and pioneers in the field, this is the first
monograph to cover the topic, containing the must-have information
hitherto only scattered among journals.
Clearly divided into sections on preparation, characterization and
modeling, and applications, this is essential reading for chemists,
chromatographers, analytical chemists, biochemists and biologists.
Klaus K. Unger studied chemistry at the Technical University of
Darmstadt, Germany, where he also received his PhD. From 1977 to 2001 he
was a professor in chemistry at the Johannes-Gutenberg University,
Mainz, Germany, before heading a research group in bioseparations at
Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, for eight years. His research interests
are the design and synthesis of porous materials as adsorbents and
catalysts, surface functionalization and characterization, the
development of liquid phase separation methods, and multidimensional
liquid chromatography in proteomics.
After studying chemistry at Kyoto University, Japan, Nobuo Tanaka
carried out postdocs in the USA at Pennsylvania, Washington and
Northeastern Universities, before returning to Kyoto at the Kyoto
Institute of Technology (KIT). Since April 2009 he has been working for
GL Sciences, Inc., while working part time for KIT as Professor
Emeritus. He is the editor of a journal and on the editorial board of
several others. Professor Tanaka`s research interests include the
development of chromatographic columns and stationary phases,
particularly monolithic silica-based materials, as well as the
separation of isotopes, isomers and environmental contaminants.
Egidijus Machtejevas was born in Lithuania where he studied chemistry
and biotechnology at Kaunas University of Technology. After gaining his
PhD in analytical chemistry in 2001 he worked as a post-doc with Prof
Unger at Mainz University. He joined the R&D Department at Merck
KgaA in Darmstadt in 2008, where he is currently a product manager for
chromatography. Egidijus Machtejevas has twenty scientific papers and
six book chapters to his name, and his major research areas include
multidimensional liquid chromatography, proteomics and the development
of monolithic stationary phases for chromatography.
