Synthesis and Characterization of Advanced Materials: 681 (ACS Symposium Series) - Tapa dura

"These 21 contributions from the August 1996 meeting cover aspects of materials synthesis and characterization related to thin films, diamond and materials synthesis and characterization related to thin films, diamond and group III nitrides, fullerenes and carbon materials, ceramics and catalysts, and polymeric materials. The text is organized according to the types of synthesis processes discussed. Topics include chemical vapor deposition and flame synthesis of nanosize powders. Of interest to undergraduate and graduate chemistry students and chemical scientists engaged in materials research."--SciTech Book News

These papers by leading experts look at current methods for synthesizing new materials. The methods presented include chemical vapor deposition synthesis, solution synthesis, pyrolysis and combustion synthesis, and polymer synthesis. Featuring in-depth coverage of ceramic materials, the volume also discusses group III nitrides, fullerenes, and ferroelectrics.
