Advances in Chemistry Series Archive 1950-1998

Founded by the American Chemical Society in 1949, the Advances in Chemistry series was the predecessor to the ACS Symposium Series. This high-quality, peer-reviewed book series was instituted to provide the research community with an avenue to publish content and special topics that was beyond the scope of the Society’s existing journals.

ACS Symposium Series Archive 1974-2008

high-quality, peer-reviewed books developed from the ACS technical divisions’ symposia. Each chapter is carefully authored by an expert in the field, and the collection of chapters edited by an internationally recognized leader in the field. The series covers a broad range of topics including agricultural and food chemistry, cellulose and renewable materials, chemical education, organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, materials, and many others.
