Ultra-fine powder surface modification (UPSM) is a key technology for its preparation, involving organic chemistry, solid-state physics, surface and colloidal chemistry, polymer chemistry and physics, and the science and technology of particles. Such publication has been rare, and there lies the value of the present book. The first chapter presents the motivations and reasons for writing this book and outlines the inter-relationship

between all the chapters. Chapter 2 discusses briefly typical approaches in preparing ultra-fine powders, solidphase, liquid-phase and gas-phase. Chapter 3 dwells upon the surface characteristics of ultra-fine powders. Chapter 4 elaborates on the physical aspects of UPSM: ultra-sonification, irradiation, electrochemistry and plasma. Chapters 5, 6, and 7 treat surface modification by coating, viz., solid coating, liquid coating, gaseous and micro-encapsulation coating with emphasis on surface grafting. Chapter 8 relates the chemistry of UPSM with details on the function, mechanism and variety of surface modifying agents. Chapter 9 deals with UPSM by mechano-chemistry, stressing upon the effect of grinding. Chapter 10 illustrates UPSM by example of ultra-fine titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, calcium carbonate, and composite pigments with non-ferrous ore as core material. Chapter 11 illustrates the dispersion of ultra-fine powder in terms of its mechanisms and the variety of dispersants used. The final chapter concludes the book with the equipment used in UPSM and characterization of ultra-fine powders, both of which are vital to the study and making of ultra-fine powders. The book represents careful selection and integration of the most recent literature and the authors’ research results of many years on UPSM as well as the preparation, application and dispersion of ultra-fine powders. It combines theory and practice and is written in simple, easy-to-understand terms. It is not only a useful reference for researchers and engineers but also a valuable guide for students, both graduate and undergraduate. Chemical Industry Press, 2004 301pp, ISBN 7-5025-5143-3
