Handbook for Critical Cleaning Applications, Processes, and Controls, Second Edition

"... an excellent resource for the manufacturer and for those researchers and consultants like myself who support the manufacturers. ... This Handbook's strongest suit is the presentation of the Kanegsbergs' philosophy of process development and improvement. ... they have produced a very useful resource in these two handbooks." -Darren Williams, Controlled Environments Magazine, Mar 1, 2012 "Mazel tov on your new edition!!! I really didn't know what to expect from a 'cleaning' book. So surprised-it is an incredible treasure trove of information!! It is really interesting, beautifully written and honestly I can't stop reading it. Thankfully it is two volumes so Scott and I don't have to fight over it. Really, it is the most fascinating technical book I've ever seen so it should fly off the shelves-or the Internet." -Debra Kimless-Garber MD, Scott Garber MD, DIFLUOREX "... a tour de force, a work written by experts who have worked at the interface between science and industry and who write from that basis, not from an ivory tower. The price of these two formidable volumes is not insignificant. But set against the cost of defective production, just for one hour's downtime or components having to be re-worked or completely rejected, it is an investment that will pay for itself many times over. On that basis, one is more than happy to strongly recommend it." -Anselm Kuhn, Galvanotechnik, July 2011 "There are a number of excellent chapters specific to electronics applications; these include materials, equipment, processes and failure modes. Cleaning printed board assemblies for selected applications is on the increase where no clean has quite rightly dominated the market place for many years since the demise of CFC's. There are many reasons why cleaning is a hot topic again and a great time for the release of an encyclopaedia on cleaning." -Bob Willis, Global SMT & Packaging Magazine, July 2011 "Any firm serious about managing its cleaning operations should have this book available to their staff responsible for that operation. It's a strong contribution to the technical literature supporting industrial cleaning because of the diversity of its coverage and strengths of many chapters, ... Every chapter is replete with references-something not provided with a Google (or other search engine) Internet search." -John Durkee, "Metal Finishing Magazine," August 2011 "If you want to learn about the most recent advances of engineering materials (superalloys, thin films, solid lubricants, polymeric composites, etc.), either from synthesis perspective or from performance perspective-here is a very comprehensive review. This book brings the readers' knowledge to the frontier of aerospace engineering materials, its timing is just right for a summary of this blooming field. This book collects the very essential and representative topics. The writing is precise, the presentation is pure pedagogy, and the impression is light and refreshing. It is a very handy book to keep on the book shelf for frequent reference." -Hanshen Zhang, Ph.D., Research Fellow, Stanford University, California, USA
