Authored by Elena Borisenko and Nikolai Kolesnikov,
this huge PDF is a comprehensive package on crystallization, especially dealing
with artificial and natural crystals. Important matters include analyses of
thermal barrier coatings, nucleation and crystal growth in phase-separated
glasses, and the development of novel metamaterials. The research paper has
further examined the influence of amino acid additives on ammonium dihydrogen
phosphate crystal growth. It further discusses the biomineralization process of
biological systems such as the special types of crystal formations within an
organism and then delves deeper into biomimetic crystallization techniques
whereby macromolecular additives are used along with the implications of crystal
growth for health protection. This resource is very useful for the researcher
and practitioner in materials science, offering insights into the complexities
of crystallization processes and their applications in high technology and
biomaterials.
Marcello Andreeta has compiled a
comprehensive book on crystallization processes blending the fundamental
concepts and practical insights it contains. It is intended for researchers from
various disciplines such that it not only covers the scientific principles
underlying crystallization but also presents new aspects of the subject. The
text may thus be used as an overall reference as well as an introductory guide
and, therefore, will be accessible for readers with different levels of
knowledge. Through recent breakthroughs and applications in crystallization
science, this book assembles the necessary knowledge and tools that readers may
deploy in charting critical areas of this field in materials science. The
approaches taken are, therefore interdisciplinary in nature, relevant both in
academic and in industrial contexts where efforts to collaborate and innovate in
crystallization research would improve much faster.
