Physical Chemistry of Food & Drugs
FOOD CHEMISTRY; FOOD DRYING. Expert is a recognized authority in the physical chemistry of the stability of dry and semi-moist systems including foods, drugs, and biologies. His major research areas deal with the effect of temperature and are properties of…
Food Engineering/Crystallization
Expert has been studying crystallization processes for the past 16 years with an emphasis on crystallization in foods. His current emphasis involves controlling crystallization (either promoting or preventing) of sugars, ice, and fats. This research involves both basic aspects of…
Ceramics, Coatings, Processing
Expert's educational background and research has given her experience in the structure-property relationships for ceramic materials. In particular, both her MS and PhD research topics involved the analysis of dielectric properties of ceramics. She is now involved with active research…
Materials Processing
SIZE REDUCTION OF SOLIDS; GRINDING (COMMINUTION). Expert (prefers "Expert") has spent a significant portion of his career in size reduction technology, chiefly involving himself with the identification, selection, and qualification of crushing, grinding, and milling processes. He has developed processes…
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…
