Excerpt from The Use of Nomenclature in Dispersion Science and Technology The use of nomenclature for describing dispersed particulate systems, along with their associated properties and components, is often inconsistent and sub ject to misinterpretation in the technical and scientific literature. For example, terms for describing the state of association of particles in suspension (e. G., aggregate or agglomerate) often carry specific connotations that vary among different authors. This guide has been prepared as a resource for researchers, engineers and students working in dispersion-based applications. In compiling this guide, we drew on a number of resources, including books, review articles and published terminologies. To the extent possible, every effort was made to maintain a degree of uniformity with existing standards and conventions, including published terminologies from the American Concrete Institute (aci), the British Standards Institute (b si), the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (iupac) and the Society of Rheology, as well as current and draft astm and iso standards. We intend this guide to serve as a resource for practitioners working in various fields in which ceramic dispersions are used, where ceramic is broadly defined as a non-metallic inorganic material. Equations have been used sparingly, and only where necessary for clarity or where they are integral to the subject at hand. This is not, nor is it intended to be, an exhaustive compilation. Rather, this document focuses on commonly encountered terms, and endeavors to provide a consistent framework for improved technical communication. The technical nomenclature portion of this guide is divided into two sections. The first section is derived from Special Publication 945, and deals with general topics related to dispersion science and technology, such as particle agglomeration and colloidal stability. The second section is based on Special Publication 946, and provides definitions of terms and expressions relating to the measurement of rheological properties in liquid-based ceramic dispersions suspensions, pastes and gels).

The IUPAC system of polymer nomenclature has aided the generation of unambiguous names that re ect the historical development of chemistry. However, the explosion in the circulation of information and the globalization of human activities mean that it is now necessary to have a common language for use in legal situations, patents, export-import regulations, and environmental health and safety information. Rather than recommending a ‘unique name’ for each structure, rules have been developed for assigning ‘preferred IUPAC names’, while continuing to allow alternatives in order to preserve the diversity and adaptability of nomenclature. Compendium of Polymer Terminology and Nomenclature is the only publication to collect the most important work on this subject into a single volume. It serves as a handy compendium for scientists and removes the need for time consuming literature searches. One of a series issued by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), it covers the terminology used in many and varied aspects of polymer science as well as the nomenclature of several di erent types of polymer including regular and irregular single-strand organic polymers, copolymers and regular double-strand (ladder and spiro) organic polymers.

Aerosol Science and Technology: History and Reviews captures an exciting slice of history in the evolution of aerosol science. It presents in-depth biographies of four leading international aerosol researchers and highlights pivotal research institutions in New York, Minnesota, and Austria. One collection of chapters reflects on the legacy of the Pasadena smog experiment, while another presents a fascinating overview of military applications and nuclear aerosols. Finally, prominent researchers offer detailed reviews of aerosol measurement, processes, experiments, and technology that changed the face of aerosol science. This volume is the third in a series and is supported by the American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR) History Working Group, whose goal is to produce archival books from its symposiums on the history of aerosol science to ensure a lasting record. It is based on papers presented at the Third Aerosol History Symposium on September 8 and 9, 2006, in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA.

This book is designed to introduce doctoral and graduate students to the process of conducting scientific research in the social sciences, business, education, public health, and related disciplines. It is a one-stop, comprehensive, and compact source for foundational concepts in behavioral research, and can serve as a stand-alone text or as a supplement to research readings in any doctoral seminar or research methods class. This book is currently used as a research text at universities on six continents and will shortly be available in nine different languages.
