"Particle Science and Engineering: Proceedings of UK–China International Particle Technology..." ed. by Xiaoshu Cai, Jerry Heng

This book contains a selection of high quality papers, discussing the state-of-the-art research in particle science and technology, presented at the UK-China International Particle Technology Forum IV held at Shanghai, China in December 2013. Providing a new, valuable contribution to the literature in the field, it will appeal to material scientists and environmentalists investigating the role of particle science in the environment.

Coverage includes a wide range of topics - synthesis and crystallisation, characterisation and measurement across length scales, multi-scale modelling and simulation, processing and handling of particulate system, nanoparticle technology and particle mechanics - making this a valuable reference for the recent advances and future research directions in the field and related fields. With applications in emerging areas, it will integrate different perspectives of particle science and technology to help the understanding of the fundamentals of particle systems for scientists and engineers in the fields of environmental science, energy and modelling.

The book is intended to integrate cross-disciplinary perspectives of particle science to provide an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of particle systems.

The contributions in the book are classified into six topics: synthesis and crystallisation, characterisation and measurement across length scales, multi-scale modelling and simulation, processing and handling of particulate systems, nano-particle technology and particle mechanics.
