Powder technology

Drawing from the third edition of the bestselling Powder Technology Handbook, this book is focused solely on analyzing the fundamental properties and behavior of particles and particle beds. Powder Technology: Fundamentals of Particles, Powder Beds, and Particle Generation concentrates on the most useful analytical methods of observation, measurement, modeling, and prediction. This volume carefully incorporates the progressive work and vision of new authors while retaining the concepts that continue to promote innovative research and applications. The authors highlight new information and developments from areas including surface properties and analysis, particle motion in fluids, mechanical properties of a powder bed, and the design and formation of composite particles. They explain how particles deposit, coagulate, and settle in various media, explore different techniques for generating particles in different states, and detail methods of surface modification. Particularly useful for scientists studying nanoparticle applications, Powder Technology: Fundamentals of Particles, Powder Beds, and Particle Generation incorporates the latest developments in areas including surface properties and analysis, particle motion in fluids, mechanical properties of a powder bed, and the design and formation of composite particles.

Reviews for Powder Technology: Fundamentals of Particles, Powder Beds, and Particle Generation

Set in Delhi, this book explores the cultural and social contrasts of post-independence India. It follows the life of Shakuntala, a young Indian woman from a wealthy family and her connection to nostalgic Englishman Esmond. The smells, sounds and texture of post independence India are pungently evoked in this novel from Prawer Jhabvala. The plot centres mostly on the willful Shakuntala who returns from England to her family home in India, which she shares with her much adored 'daddyji' mother, brother Amrit and sister-in-law Indira. Having recently graduated with a BA from 'College' in England, Shakuntala feels suitably edified in her knowledge of 'culture' and is rather disdainful of women (notably her mother and sister-in-law) who care only for shopping and the appropriate manner in which to press and hang exquisite silk saris. The blind passion she develops for the urbane yet cruel Esmond (who is married to her friend Gulab) is farcically shallow - their dialogue reading like the script from a traditional Bollywood love scene. For an aromatic light dip into the social tensions of India after 1947, this is a novel for you. Expect gritty two-dimensional characters and you will not be disappointed. (Kirkus UK)
