Cavitation

A Novel Energy-Efficient Technique for the Generation of Nanomaterials
Herausgeber: Manickam, Sivakumar; Ashokkumar, Muthupandian

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The past decade has witnessed the development of a wide range of nanomaterials using cavitation. While a few currently available books deal with the fundamental aspects of cavitation and sonochemistry, there is no book devoted specifically to the technologically important nanomaterials obtained by cavitation. This was the stimulus behind the development of this book. Leading researchers working on utilizing cavitation for the generation of nanomaterials have made their contributions to this book.
