Recenzje

'This volume is a short and readable text on the subject of particulates and particulate delivery. Within the field of engineering, it takes an interdisciplinary approach to particulate characteristics, formation, and applications, with a focus on materials custom-designed for specific tasks. Furthermore, it addresses both process and product design approaches, encouraging students to think about designing particles for specific functions, while considering issues of efficiency in long-term and large-scale creation of the desired materials. Each chapter begins with a case study and then moves through short sections of learning goals, specific lessons, a summary, a bibliography, and problem sets illustrated sparingly with graphs, tables, and occasional images. Given the specialized nature of the text, its usefulness in a collection will be determined by the needs of the users. This volume will serve as an excellent reference book, as well as a strong textbook for a course on the subject.' CHOICE
