Moser William R. Advanced Catalysts and Nanostructured Materials

Software For Reading And Converting. — Academic Press, 1996. — 587 p. — ISBN10: 0125084609; ISBN13: 9780125084604.The time has come for an assessment of the most important techniques for the fabrication of advanced catalysts. Catalyst production alone is more than a billion dollar business each year, and the product value of chemical processes using advanced catalysts is a few trillion dollars annually. This book seeks to provide a modern, materials science account of the best and most current techniques for the synthesis of advanced catalytic materials.Until now, there has been no single book which contains a definitive and comprehensive description of the important technologies for catalyst synthesis within the context of modern materials science. Academic researchers both in the catalytic sciences and materials sciences must have the best synthesis technologies available to accomplish the preparation of solid-state materials of specific structure and morphology. Althugh the emphasis is on new synthetic techniques for catalytic applications, the bookpresents all of the important technologies for the fabrication of electronic and structural ceramics, and superconductors.

From the Back Cover
For the discovery of more efficient catalysts, and the continued competitiveness of those now in use, the multrillion dollar chemical process industries must keep current on the best available technologies for advanced materials synthesis. This book is the first comprehensive review of the latest techniques for the preparation of solid-state materials of specific structure and morphology. Although catalytic applications are emphasized, the technologies are equally relevant to general research on the materials science aspects of advanced electronic and structural ceramics, including the design and engineered synthesis of nanostructured materials. Researchers in both academia and industry will find Advanced Catalysts and Nanostructured Materials: Modern Synthetic Methods to be an authoritative source of information on state-of-the-art technologies for advanced materials synthesis.
