Introduction to Sol-Gel Processing (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a broad, general introduction to the processing of Sol-Gel technologies. This updated volume serves as a general handbook for researchers and students entering the field. This new edition provides updates in fields that have undergone rapid developments, such as Ceramics, Catalysis, Chromatropgraphy, biomaterials, glass science, and optics. It provides a simple, compact resource that can also be used in graduate-level materials science courses.

• Presents a general, accessible resource for students and professionals seeking an introduction to sol-gel science and applications
• Covers current and emerging processes in cutting-edge sol-gel applications such as Ceramics, Catalysis, Chromatography, biomaterials, glass, and optics
• Combines timeless principles with modern technological advances and new applications that have emerged since publication of the prior edition
