Ceramics: Fabrication, Fracture, Powder Dispersion, Alumina, Nano-materials; Tapecasting, Creep, Sintering
Expert has been involved in ceramic processing since 1973. He served as a member of the research staff of the MIT Ceramic Processing Center. He has taught a graduate course at Rutgers University entitled "Colloid Chemistry of Slip Casting" since…
Chemistry of Materials
APPLIED INORGANIC CHEMISTRY. Expert has extensive experience in applied inorganic chemistry. Using new sol-gel methods that employ hydrogen peroxide, Expert has made a variety of ceramics and minerals, for example, forsterite, enstatite, and members of the olivine family. Sols (colloidal…
Colloids & Polymers
ANTIFOAMING AGENT; DEFOAMING; FOAMING; BUBBLES; BUBBLING. Expert spent three years developing novel silicone defoamers, for which he was awarded a patent. He also developed the first mechanistic model which predicts defoaming kinetics. More recently he has developed new techniques for…
Applied Silica Chemistry
SILICA AND SILICATE CHEMISTRY The primary focus of Expert's technical work since 1974 has been the chemistry of soluble silica and products derived from silica. These include precipitated products, gels, and sols. He is currently studying the interaction of colloidal…
