I am also appreciative of the broadly positive reviews that the first edition received and of the favourable comments that I have received from a wide range of individuals. The initial approach to compiling this second edition involved tak- ing stock of the original content, while also assessing the extensive range of developments in colour chemistry that have taken place in the intervening years. While the chemistry of the traditional classes and applications of dyes and pigments is well-established, there have been significant developments in other areas, especially in topics related to functional dyes. The industry associated with the manufacture and application of dyes and pigments has continued to transfer substantially away from Europe and the USA towards the emerging economies in Asia, especially to China and India, and consequently many new developments are emerging from research undertaken in that region. Two important textbooks have been pub- lished in the last decade or so. I am honoured to pay a special tri- bute to the late Heinrich Zollinger, whose third edition of Color Chemistry appeared in 2003, and maintained the standard of detail, originality and excellence for which this eminent author was re- nowned. I also acknowledge the importance of Chromic Phenomena: Technological Applications of Colour Chemistry, by Peter Bamfield and Michael Hutchings, the second edition of which appeared in Colour Chemistry, 2nd edition By Robert M Christie r R M Christie 2015 Published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, www.rsc.org v vi Preface 2010. This excellent textbook, also published by the RSC, adopts an original approach to the subject, organising the topics according to the phenomena giving rise to colour. The experience and know- ledge of these authors from an industrial perspective is evident throughout their book. This second edition of Colour Chemistry adopts broadly the original philosophy and structure, retaining a relatively traditional approach to the subject. The content has been significantly revised and ex- panded throughout, especially to reflect newer developments. The book thus remains aimed at providing an insight into the chemistry of colour, with a particular focus on the most important colorants produced industrially. It is aimed at students or graduates who have knowledge of the principles of chemistry, to provide an illustration of how these principles are applied in producing the range of colours that are all around us. In addition, it is anticipated that professionals who are specialists in colour science, or have some involvement with the diverse range of coloured materials in an industrial or academic environment, will benefit from the overview of the subject that is provided. The opening chapter provides a historical perspective on how our understanding of colour chemistry has evolved, leading to the de- velopment of an innovative global industry. The second chapter provides a general introduction to the physical, chemical and, to a certain extent, biological principles which allow us to perceive col- ours. This chapter has been expanded in particular to provide a dis- cussion of the recent developments that have taken place in the use of computational methods used to model and predict the properties of colorants by calculation. Chapters 3–6 encompass the essential principles of the structural and synthetic chemistry associated with the most important chemical classes of industrial dyes and pigments. Chapters 7–11 deal with the applications of dyes and pigments, and in particular the chemical principles underlying their technical per- formance, not only in traditional applications such as textiles, print- ing inks, coatings and plastics but also in an expanding range of high technology or functional applications. The chapter on functional dyes has been significantly re-written to reflect recent and current devel- opments in, for example, display technologies, solar energy con- version and biomedical applications. A new chapter introduces the chemistry of colour in cosmetics, with particular emphasis on hair dyes, which reflects the continuing growth of a sector of the colour industry that has thus far largely resisted the move from West to East. I express my gratitude to my co-author of this chapter, Olivier Morel, Preface vii for his contribution. The final chapter provides an account of the most important environmental issues associated with the manu- facture and use of colour, which the industry is increasingly required to acknowledge and address.
