Metal particles are attractive candidate fuels for various propulsion and energy-conversion
applications, primarily due to their high energy densities. Micron-sized particles present …

Recently, silica nanoparticles (SNPs) have drawn widespread attention due to their
applications in many emerging areas because of their tailorable morphology. During the last …

Many natural and man-made materials exhibit structure on more than one length scale; in
some materials, the structural elements themselves have structure. This structural hierarchy …

The traditional scheme of metals extraction from minerals involves some processes of
mechanical character ameliorating the accesibility of the valuable component by the …

Nanoparticles, smaller than 100nm, have many properties which differ from the
corresponding bulk material thereby making them attractive for many new electronic, optical …

In recent years, near-nano (submicron) and nanostructured materials have attracted
increasingly more attention from the materials community. Nanocrystalline materials are …

Nanostructured materials have been intensively studied in recent years particularly because
the physical properties of these materials are quite different from those of the bulk. 1-3 A …

Recent advances in aerosol generation of materials are reviewed. Gas-to-particle and spray
processes (spray pyrolysis) for powder generation and various routes for film generation are …

The recent interest in the properties of ceramics with grain sizes less than 100 nm has
created a need for processing routes with which to manufacture such ceramics. This article …

The study of interfaces has boomed since the early 1970s primarily owing to their central
role in microelectronics, processing, and phase transformations, to mention just three areas …
