Aerosol processing of materials

About This Book

"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.". "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."--BOOK JACKET.
