Fine Particles: Synthesis, Characterization, and Mechanisms of Growth / Edition 1

by Tadao Sugimoto

Overview

"The first comprehensive book on fine particle synthesis that ranges from fundamental principles to the most advanced concepts, highlighting mondispersed particles from nanometers to micrometers. Describes mechanisms of formation and specific characteristics of each family of compounds while identifying problems and proposing solutions. Contains subsections that analyze growth processes, characterize products, and delineate physical and chemical results based on causality."

Editorial Reviews

A comprehensive reference in which chemists and materials scientists discuss both the fundamental mechanisms and the practical procedures related to preparing and characterizing particles ranging from nanometers to micrometers in size, an important aspect of colloid science and engineering. They discuss the science and technology related to preparing fine particles in liquids and gases, especially emphasizing monodispersed particles varying in model sizes. The arrangement of the inorganic and organic materials considered is by their chemical compositions, including metal compounds, silica, metals, carbon nanotubes, and polymer latexes. They also describe modifying the surface of inorganic and organic particles, and particles of specific functions, such as magnetic or luminous. Annotation c.
