Crystal Growth and Nucleation: Faraday Discussion 136, Vol. 136

Faraday Discussions 136This volume focuses on recent advances in the nucleation, growth, inhibition anddissolution of solids, a vitally important interdisciplinary field of contemporaryscience. The area has reached an exciting stage where new opportunities areemerging in both theory and experiment. Wide-ranging fundamental scientificchallenges are faced in this field of major importance to industries including oiland gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, biomaterials and mineral extraction.Work is presented in the following areas:Techniques: including diffraction, small angle scattering, probe microscopy,optical microscopy, crystallization techniques and both atomistic and mesoscalemodelling methods;Applications: inorganic materials, microporous and mesoporous materials,molecular crystals, bio-materials, minerals, semi-conductors andpharmaceuticals.Chemistry, Royal Society of is the author of 'Crystal Growth and Nucleation: Faraday Discussion 136, Vol. 136', published 2007 under ISBN 9780854049523 and ISBN 0854049525.
