The Encyclopedia of Computational Chemistry is a comprehensive work, containing over 300 articles covering seven areas of computational chemistry from ab-initio computations to biological and biochemical applications. Sections include algorithms and software, biological and biochemical modeling, chemical applications, cheminformatics, and more.

The Encyclopedia of Electrochemistry covers all electrochemical areas, including fundamentals in electrochemistry, instrumentation, electroanalytical chemistry, corrosion and oxide films, electrochemical engineering, semiconductor electrodes / electrodes and modified electrodes, photoelectrochemistry, inorganic and organic electrochemistry, and bioelectrochemistry.

Discusses the main areas of specialist and expert knowledge and skills used by those involved in all aspects of the forensic process. This resource provides case studies of landmark cases (including Frye v. United States and Kumho Tire v. Carmichael) and covers key areas, such as criminalistics, digital evidence, DNA analysis of biological fluids, investigation and law enforcement, law, medicine, statistics, the evaluation of evidence, toxicology, and drug analysis.

The Encyclopedia of Inorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry (EIBC) includes over 2,200 articles covering a wide range of topics within the field, from basic inorganic chemistry principles to the developments and applications in materials, energy, bioscience, nanoscience and catalysis.

Covers research in chemistry, molecule biology, mathematics, and engineering with over 800 articles and 7,000 photographs. Emphasis is on information processing, environmental science, biotechnology, and biomedicine.

Presents over 500 articles, covering the entire field of polymer science and technology. Subjects covered include polymeric materials, polymer properties, polymerization methods, processing, and uses. Special emphasis is put on new and advanced polymeric materials for various applications (e.g. coating, water filtration, energy, and biomedical applications, etc.), new and improved characterization and analytical methods, and modern processing technology.

Covers the theories, techniques, and applications of separation science. Topics include an overview of the 12 main categories of separation techniques, technical descriptions of particular techniques, and discussions on the application of these techniques from the micro to the macrochem and from the analytical laboratory bench to large-scale industrial processes.

Provides comprehensive coverage of spectroscopy, from theory to applications. Each article is flagged as to which area of spectroscopy it covers and whether it covers theory, methods and instrumentation, or applications. Extensive cross-referencing, a complete subject index, numerous figures, and color plates are included in each volume.

The second edition of the Encyclopedia of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry covers theory, methods, and applications with roughly 30% new content. The text incorporates more than 150 color figures, 5,000 references, and 300 articles for a thorough examination of the field. This edition also highlights new research and promotes innovation in applied areas, including food science, forensics, biomedicine, and health.

Presents entries devoted to key concepts and specific chemicals within the field of toxicology. There are also entries devoted to international organizations, well-known toxic-related incidents such as Love Canal and Chernobyl, the societal implications of toxicological knowledge, environmental crimes, chemical and biological warfare in ancient times, and the history of the U.S. environmental movement.
