Handbook of Colorants Chemistry. Volume 1 Handbook of Colorants Chemistry: Dyes and Pigments Fundamentals

Volume 1 of the __Handbook of Colorants Chemistry__ comprehensively covers the fundamentals of color as well as the underlying scientifi c principles, via the presentation of molecular compositions of inorganic and organic pigments. The author explains the chemical and physical production of color and the infl uence of the physical-geometric pigment parameters on the color shade. This volume also deals with historical and modern pigments, dyes, and binders, as well as their mode of action. The complementary __“Volume 2: in Painting, Art and Inks”__ (ISBN 978-3-11-077700-0) focuses on paints, painting and drawing systems used by the painter and craftsman. The book is supplemented by a comprehensive bibliography with references to standard works, monographs, and original papers. The reader is provided with a unique overview of the fi eld of color chemistry. * Explains the chemical and physical production of color and the influence of the physical-geometric pigment parameters on the color shade. * Deals with historical and modern pigments, dyes and binders, as well as their mode of action.
