Current Trends in Sonochemistry (Special Publications) - Hardcover

Current Trends in Sonochemistry provides up-to-date coverage of the latest research in this still relatively new area and includes an introductory chapter to assist newcomers to the subject. It is written by eminent scientists in the field and discusses fundamental knowledge of sonochemical processes, as well as applications in organic, organometallic and polymer synthesis. The book also looks at current commercial applications and those predicted to be important in the near future. Sonochemistry is a particularly rich area of study and attracts scientists from a wide range of disciplines and countries. Reflecting this the book has both a broad coverage and a strong international flavour. Current Trends in Sonochemistry will be of interest to undergraduates, graduates and research scientists involved in organic synthesis, industrial chemistry and many other areas.

Summarizing current activities in the applications of ultrasound techniques to chemistry, this volume contains papers on a range of subjects, from fundamental physical studies, to the effect of ultrasound on solids and liquids, to the synthesis of complex chemical compounds and materials.
