Functional Fillers And Nanoscale Minerals New Markets/New Horizons

So-called mineral fillers are used to extend raw materials and cut costs. Recently minerals and associated inorganics have frequently been used for their functionality and other mineral-specific qualities. The emergence of nanoscale minerals parallels the global pursuit of nanotechnology. The use of these minerals plays an important role in low-cost, high-performance application of nanotechnology. This new 21-chapter compilation is for mineral suppliers, industrial users of mineral fillers, and those concerned with new trends in mineral processing and nanotechnology. Contributions by leading international researchers highlight the emerging markets and applications of functional fillers and nanoscale minerals.Kellar, Jon J. is the author of 'Functional Fillers And Nanoscale Minerals New Markets/New Horizons', published 2006 under ISBN 9780873352475 and ISBN 0873352475.
