Corona Discharge Micromachining for the Synthesis of Nanoparticles

<p>This book summarizes the fundamental and established methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles providing readers with an organized and comprehensive insight into the field of nanoparticle technology. In addition to exploring the characterization and applications of nanoparticles it also focuses on the recently explored corona discharge micromachining - Electrical Discharge Micromachining (EDMM) - method to synthesize inorganic nanoparticles. In the synthesis of nanoparticles organic materials often play an indispensable role such as providing stabilizers in the form of capping agents. </p><p>This book will be of interest to advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying physics and engineering as well as professionals and academics looking for an introduction to the nature and foundations of nanoparticle synthesis.</p><p>Features:</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Provides diagnostic tools for the characterization of nanoparticles </li> <p> </p> <li>Explores the cutting-edge EDMM method for the synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles </li> <p> </p> <li>Discusses possible methods to overcome agglomeration of nanoparticles and achieve stable dispersion in addition to examining the application suitability of synthesized nanoparticles</li> </ul>
