Filling a gap in the literature for a focus on industrial photochemical processes and applications, this textbook also discusses the changes to equipment if process chemists and engineers use light and radiation in their production processes. The author team combines industrial and academic expertise, providing the knowledge vital to chemists, engineers, material scientists and biologists working in the field.

Bernd Strehmel is working in Research and Development at Kodak Graphic Communications GmbH in Germany. Having obtained his academic doctoral degree from the former Technical University of Merseburg, he took several research appointments at the Technical University of Berlin, Stanford University, Humboldt University, Center for Photochemical Sciences at Bowling Green State University, and Potsdam University before he started his industrial work at Kodak in Germany. He finished his habilitation in Physical Chemistry at Humboldt University in 2003, and has taught Industrial Photochemistry since 2005. He has been the author of several peer-reviewed publications, review articles, and patents. Veronika Strehmel is working in the Institute of Chemistry at Potsdam University in Germany. Having obtained her academic doctoral degree from the former Technical University of Merseburg, she took research appointments at Stanford University and Martin-Luther University Halle-Wittenberg before she has continued her academic carrier at Potsdam University in 2001. She also finished her habilitation in Macromolecular Chemistry 2000 and has taught applied aspects of polymer chemistry emphasizing on photopolymerization and ionic liquids. She has been the author of several peer-reviewed publications, review articles, and patents. John Malpert has worked for the past decade at Spectra Group Limited (SGL) in Millbury, Ohio. SGL is small research and development company that specializes in bringing photochemistry to the market place with products ranging from UV/vis formulation products, color-on-demand products and visible and UV/visible patented photoinitiators. John is a native of North Dakota, obtaining his undergraduate degree from the University of North Dakota in 1991. He then went on to Iowa State University where he obtained his Ph.D. in the field of synthetic organic chemistry, specializing in using photochemistry to affect chemical transformations. He then went on to pursue his post-doctoral studies at the Center for Photochemical Sciences at Bowling Green State University. He has been the author of several publications and patents.
