Ultrasonic Synthesis of Functional Materials, 1st ed. 2016 SpringerBriefs in Green Chemistry for Sustainability Series
Auteur : Ashokkumar Muthupandian
This book begins by giving a summary of sonochemistry and explains how a chemical reaction can be induced by the interaction of sound waves and gas bubbles in liquids. The work outlines how primary and secondary radicals combined with the physical effects generated during acoustic cavitation are active in the ultrasonic synthesis of a variety of functional materials. The brief covers hot topics that include ultrasonic synthesis of various functional materials covering the following broad areas: acoustic cavitation and sonochemistry, synthesis of functional polymers and their applications, synthesis of functional inorganic materials and their applications, improving functionality of food/dairy systems, synthesis of functional biomaterials and their applications, synthesis of graphene based catalytic materials. Theory is kept to a minimum. The book is aimed at individuals at universities and will also interest those in industry. It is suitable for all levels.
Ashokkumar is a Professor in the School of Chemistry, The University of Melbourne. Within the school, he is the Group Leader of the Sonochemistry Research Group.
The group has been exploring various industrial applications of ultrasound. In collaboration with Food Science Australia, they have also been investigating the use of ultrasound in food processing applications. The sonochemistry research group has also been exploring the use of ultrasound for synthesising targeted drug delivery agents. In addition, they use ultrasound to generate efficient catalytic materials for wastewater treatment using alternative energy resources such as solar energy.
Ashokkumar has received a number of awards including Grimwade Prize in Industrial Chemistry.
Ashokkumar is also a member of the University of Melbourne Energy Institute (MEI) Built Environment research group.
