Kombinatorische Strukturbibliotheken, verbunden mit Hochdurchsatz-Screeningverfahren, beschleunigen die Suche nach Verbindungen mit neuen, gewünschten Eigenschaften wesentlich. In diesem Band demonstriert ein internationales Autorenteam, wie man entsprechende Ansätze effektiv in die Praxis umsetzt. Am Beispiel der heterogenen Katalyse, der Polymerisation von Olefinen und der Elektrokatalyse für Brennstoffzellen werden Hochdurchsatz-Experimente, kombinatorische Synthese und Screening von vielen Seiten beleuchtet und diskutiert.
