REQUIMTE, is the largest network in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering established in Portugal and is recognized as the Laboratório Associado para a Química Verde by the Portuguese Ministério da Ciência e Tecnologia e do Ensino Superior since November 2001. The scientific expertise and complementary knowledge available, put together by the two research centres that form the network (Centro de Química Fina e Biotecnologia-UNL and Centro de Química-UP), allowed us to deal with the topic GREEN CHEMISTRY - CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES AND PROCESSES with a wide range of tools and from different perspectives. REQUIMTE´s mission is to cooperate in a continuous, competent and efficient way in the prosecution of the specific goals of the national scientific and technological policies, in the areas of:
• Natural Products: Screening and Synthesis
• Food Quality and Safety
• Clean Production Technologies and Processes
• Environmental Control and (Bio)remediation
• Catalyst, Solvents and Non-Toxic Compounds

, a book by the REQUIMTE researcher Peter Eaton
Peter Eaton and Paul West share a common passion for atomic force microscopy. However, their involvement with atomic force microscopes are from very different perspectives. Over the past 10 years Peter used AFM's as the focal point of his research in a variety of scientific projects from materials science to biology. Paul, on the other hand, is an instrument builder and has spent the past 25 years creating microscopes for scientist and engineers. Together Peter and Paul have created an insightful book on the theory, practice and applications of atomic force microscopes. This book serves as an introduction to scientists and engineers that want to learn about these fascinating devices, and as a reference book for expert AFM users.
