Overview

"Powder technology is an important element in the manufacture of a wide range of advanced industrial materials, such as metals, ceramics and plastics. ""Chemistry of Powder Production"" focuses on the solid-state chemistry of powder materials and relates this to the structure, properties and preparation and characterization techniques for these important industrial products. Additionally, the properties of the particles are discussed in relation to their surface structure and characteristics. The fundamentals of statistical methods for measuring the characteristics of particles are described. New advanced materials being developed via powder technology manufacturing techniques are emphasized, including powdered materials for advanced ceramics as well as magnetic and pigment materials. The book is well illustrated and written in a way that should provide an accessible introduction to the field of powder technology. This book should be of interest to powder technologists in wide range of industries including pharmaceutical, chemical engineering, and agro-industries; and university libraries in chemical engineering, materials science and environmental engineering libraries."
