Color Chemistry: Syntheses, Properties, and Applications of Organic Dyes and Pigments, 3rd, Revised Edition
Recommended as essential reading not only to color chemists in all stages of their careers, but to chemists unilaterally. This book will stand as the definitive treatment of the subject for years to come.
Conn’s Biological Stains, A Handbook of Dyes, Stains and Fluorochromes for Use in Biology and Medicine, 10th ed.
For 75 years Conn's Biological Stains has been a standard reference for those who used dyes and colorants in biological and medical sciences. This edition appears 25 years after the last and has been completely rewritten to reflect the increase in range of uses. Although staining of microscopical preparations continues to expand the uses of dyes and fluorochromes now extend beyond this application. This book provides the first overview of the whole range of low molecular weight fluorescent probes, outside the catalog literature. First ten chapters are essays on the important aspects of colorants and their uses. The remainder consists of descriptions of properties and recent applications of hundreds of individual compounds, in about twenty chemical classes.
This handbook compiles the most comprehensive information on over 200 water-based and solvent-based indicators. Organized alphabetically, entries include: common name, other names, CA index name, CAS registry number, Merck index number, chemical structure, chemical/dye class, molecular formula, molecular weight, pH range, color change at pH, pKa, physical form, solubility, UV-visible, melting point, and boiling point. This resource also offers unique coverage including protocols for synthesizing indicator compounds; data relating to adverse effects, toxicity, and major applications for each indicator. The handbook contains practical information for applications that include semiconductors, fuel cells, sensors, surface coatings, adhesives, agricultural chemicals, textiles, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and detection of disease.
Dyes - originally obtained exclusively from natural sources - are today also produced synthetically on a large scale and represent one of the very mature and traditional sectors of the chemical industry. The present reference work on Industrial Dyes provides a comprehensive review of the chemistry, properties and applications of the most important groups of industrial dyes, including optical brighteners. It also outlines the latest developments in the area of functional dyes. Renowned experts in their respective fields have contributed to the chapters on chemical chromophores, synthesis and application of the various dye classes, textile dyeing and non-textile dyeing.
