In the 1980's sonochemistry was considered to be a rather restricted branch of chemistry involving the ways in which ultrasound could improve synthetic procedures, predominantly in heterogeneous systems and particularly for organometallic reactions. Within a few years the subject began to expand into other disciplines including food technology, environmental protection and the extraction of natural materials. Scientific interest grew and led to the formation of the European Society of Sonochemistry in 1990 and the launch of a new journal Ultrasonics Sonochemistry in 1994. The subject continues…mehr

In the 1980's sonochemistry was considered to be a rather restricted branch of chemistry involving the ways in which ultrasound could improve synthetic procedures, predominantly in heterogeneous systems and particularly for organometallic reactions. Within a few years the subject began to expand into other disciplines including food technology, environmental protection and the extraction of natural materials. Scientific interest grew and led to the formation of the European Society of Sonochemistry in 1990 and the launch of a new journal Ultrasonics Sonochemistry in 1994. The subject continues to develop as an exciting and multi-disciplinary science with the participation of not only chemists but also physicists, engineers and biologists. The resulting cross-fertilisation of ideas has led to the rapid growth of interdisciplinary research and provided an ideal way for young researchers to expand their knowledge and appreciation of the ways in which different sciences can interact. It expands scientific knowledge through an opening of the closed doors that sometimes restrict the more specialist sciences.

The journey of exploration in sonochemistry and its expansion into new fields of science and engineering is recounted in "Sonochemistry Evolution and Expansion" written by two pioneers in the field. It is unlike other texts about sonochemistry in that it follows the chronological developments in several very different applications of sonochemistry through the research experiences of the two authors Tim Mason and Mircea Vinatoru.

Designed for chemists and chemical engineers

Written by two experts and practitioners in the subject

Volume 1 covers the historical background and evolution of sonochemistry

Volume 2 explains the wider applications and expansion of the subject

VOLUME 2 Applications and Developments

Volume 2 contains six chapters which detail the developments of sonochemistry in fields which continue to attract considerable research and development interest from academia and industry. The topics range from the important developments in chemical synthesis through food technology and materials processing to therapeutic ultrasound. The authors have made contributions to all of these and so the content is written in a way which should be understandable to readers whose expertise may not necessarily be in the individual topic. Each of the applications and developments described help to illustrate not only the diverse nature of sonochemistry but also the unifying theme of the effects of acoustic cavitation on a wide range of procedures.

Autorenporträt
Professor Mason ("the father of sonochemistry") obtained his Ph.D. in Physical Organic Chemistry, Southampton University (UK) 1970. He then was working as research fellow for the NATO in Massachusetts (USA) and at the York University in York (UK). Before he has been appointed as professor he was working as lecturer at different universities in the UK. Prof. Mason published over 300 articles, 60 chapters and 15 books. He is chairman of the RSC Sonochemistry Group, Editor in Chief (and co-founder) of "Ultrasonics - Sonochemistry" (Elsevier) and director of the Sonochemistry Centre at the Coventry University (UK). Dr. Mircea Vinatoru obtained his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1996 at the Universitatea "Politehnica" din Bucure¿ti (Bucharest, Romania). Before becoming a lecturer at the Coventry University in Coventry (UK) he was employed as research and development director at ReEnergy LLC. From April 2016 he is working as a researcher at the Sonochemistry Centre at the Coventry University (UK). He published over 50 articels and chapters.
