Aerosol Processing of Materials

An authoritative guide to the science, engineering, and technology of aerosol processing.
Aerosol Processing of Materials offers a comprehensive look at advanced materials processing by aerosol methods. This self–contained volume examines in–depth what it takes to generate powders and films with specialized characteristics using gas–phase processes. In three main parts, it addresses particle formation by intraparticle reaction, particle formation by gas–to–particle conversion, and film formation. All aspects of these subjects are considered, from the basic principles and chemistry of aerosols to processing methods and the characterization of materials. The text incorporates an impressive array of examples involving materials such as metals, metal oxides, and metal sulfides for application in pigments, ceramics superconductors, electronics, sensors, glass coatings, semiconductors, optical materials, and thick films.
Fully referenced, generously illustrated, and lucidly written by two of the foremost authorities on aerosol processing of materials, this landmark work emphasizes cutting–edge technologies, industrial applications, and the need to put existing research to practical use.
Aerosol Processing of Materials:
∗ Provides a basic and practical understanding of the relationships between reagents and processes used to generate a variety of materials in powder and film form
∗ Reviews the state–of–the–art of gas–phase nanoparticle technology, including synthesis of nanostructured materials and their properties
∗ Gives simple explanations of the aerosol dynamics in various systems for particle and film formation and the advantages and disadvantages of different systems for particle formation
∗ Features master tables listing all aerosol processing examples presented in the book
∗ Provides problem–solving strategies to avoid degradation or defects in m aterials produced by aerosol methods.
Aerosol Processing of Materials offers tremendous insight into current practices, research opportunities, and future trends in this evolving field. It is an invaluable resource for chemists and chemical and materials engineers in the fiber optics, electronics, semiconductor, thick film, wear resistance, refractory, automotive, paint and dye, plastics, ceramics, and sensor industries.
