"Sometimes you can just pick up a book and you know it’s good. Well this happened to me with this book. When I opened it and started to read I changed my mind from good to excellent. It is written in an easy to read format and laid out in a style that allowed me to make readable notes on clean side bars. . . If you have an interest in silicon, if you are looking for new ideas in silica, if you are looking for new areas or working/manufacturing methods for materials in chromatography, buy this book . . ."Chromatographia, 2017
