Page 9 - Materials Chemistry, Second Edition

Acknowledgments

We, the editors would like to thank several people who helped us as we continued
to work on this book. We begin by thanking Anthony Doyle from Springer who
first approached us with the proposal for the book and helped us crystallise our
ideas on the topic. Afterwards Quinn Grace and Christine Velarde took over and
provided excellent support with all the administrative work. We also thank all the
authors who kindly agreed to provide the chapters and worked with us throughout
the process. We are also grateful to the reviewers who took time out of their busy
schedule to critically review the chapters of this book and provided very valuable
suggestions for their improvements. This book is a labour of love for us since we
spent a lot of our weekends and free time on working on it. For this reason alone,
our families deserved to be thanked for bearing with us all this while. Anoop and
Stig like to thank the management of Technical University of Denmark (DTU),
Lyngby, Denmark for their support. Deepak would like to thank the management
of VITO especially Dr. Karolien Vanbroekhoven, Programme Manager at Sepa-
ration and Conversion Technology unit for her unflinching support and encour-
agement towards this endeavour.
