This book presents a complete and updated overview of Flame Spray process, from its History to the Apparatus necessary for the synthesis of nanostructures. It addresses not only the materials produced by this technique, but also their properties, such as crystallinity and crystallite size, specific surface area, particle size and morphology. Also, the principles of nanoparticle formation are described. It is a useful read to all those interested in low cost synthesis of nanostructured powders and coatings.

Covering the very latest cutting-edge research, this work brings readers right up to date on nanostructured materials, a rapidly emerging field with innumerable potential applications in materials science, physics, chemistry, biology, mechanic and medicine.

Written in clear, practical language, this application-oriented book reviews the mechanical behavior and degradation of dental ceramics, details their manufacturing procedures and offers practical examples of their use in dental clinics.

This book presents a summary of the current use of carbon nanomaterials for water treatment, drug delivery, systems and nanosensors. The first chapter elucidates the adsorption process phenomenon. The third chapter presents the kinetic and equilibrium models of adsorption, processing of experimental data and adsorption process peculiarities.
