The Chemical Abstracts (CA) File is the main abstracting and indexing service for biochemistry, chemistry, and chemical engineering. 

In chemistry and chemical engineering, expert systems are used for various tasks ranging from laboratory automation or reaction kinetics to the design of syntheses or the simulations of processes [24]. The application of expert systems in chemistry is described in more detail in Chapter IX, Section 2 of the Handbook,...

Chemical Abstracts Service. The Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society, has produced Chemical Abstracts (CA) since 1907. Since the demise of Chemisches Zentralblatt and British Chemical Abstracts CA has been the preeminent medium for documenting new pubhcations in the field of chemistry and chemical engineering. CA documents chemical pubHcations of all types. It is not a patent database per se, but its patent component is larger than most databases devoted entirely to patents. Thus, for example, the number of patent references in CA for the years 1991—1993 ranged from 95,500—99,400 per year. 

The manufacture of vanillin shows the progress made in the chemistry and chemical engineering of the substance. Most commercial vanillin is synthesized from guaiacol the remainder is obtained by processing waste sulfite Hquors. Preparation by oxidation of isoeugenol is of historical interest only.

This episode has been displayed in some detail because colloid science is a clear instance of a major field of research which has never quite succeeded in gaining recognition as a distinct discipline, in spite of determined attempts by a number of its practitioners. The one feature that most distinguishes colloid science from physical chemistry, polymer science and chemical engineering is that universities have not awarded degrees in colloid science. That is, perhaps, what counts most for fields with ambitions to become fullblown disciplines. 

The theory that results from the investigation of the dynamics of solute distribution between the two phases of a chromatographic system and which allows the different dispersion processes to be qualitatively and quantitatively specified has been designated the Rate Theory. However, historically, the Rate Theory was never developed as such, but evolved over more than a decade from the work of a number of physical chemists and chemical engineers, such as those mentioned in chapter 1.
