Produktbeschreibung

Faraday Discussions 136 This volume focuses on recent advances in the nucleation, growth, inhibition and dissolution of solids, a vitally important interdisciplinary field of contemporary science. The area has reached an exciting stage where new opportunities are emerging in both theory and experiment. Wide-ranging fundamental scientific challenges are faced in this field of major importance to industries including oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, biomaterials and mineral extraction. Work is presented in the following areas: Techniques: including diffraction, small angle scattering, probe microscopy, optical microscopy, crystallization techniques and both atomistic and mesoscale modelling methods; Applications: inorganic materials, microporous and mesoporous materials, molecular crystals, bio-materials, minerals, semi-conductors and pharmaceuticals.

Autorenporträt

Faraday Discussions documents a long-established series of Faraday Discussion meetings which provide a unique international forum for the exchange of views and newly acquired results in developing areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. The papers presented are published in the Faraday Discussion volume together with a record of the discussion contributions made at the meeting. Faraday Discussions therefore provide an important record of current international knowledge and views in the field concerned. The latest (2012) impact factor of Faraday Discussions is 3.82.
