Synthesis and Characterization of Ceramic Powders and Single Crystals
Expert has used microencapsulation as a method to prepare multicomponent ceramic powders containing two to five components. He developed (and is in the process of patenting) the first dry microencapsulation process that also can be used as a granulation method.…
Thin Films, Coatings, and Instruments
Expert has more than fifteen years of experience in the areas of experimental thin films and coatings. The range of thin films include, AL, Cr, Ni-Cr, Pd, Au, SeGe, In, polyvinylalcohol, polyvilylchloride, Si0x, electroless Au, electroless Ni, and electroless Pd.…
Rheological Process Modeling
EMULSION POLYMERIZATION. Most of the research in Expert's (pronounced pay-line) career has been aimed at developing a more complete understanding of the mechanics and kinetics of emulsion polymerization reactions. He has studied batch, semi-batch, and continuous reactor systems. FREE RADICAL…
Powder Processing/Fabrication
Expert (prefers Expert ) has devoted most of his recent career to developing processing techniques, procedures, equipment, and control systems for preparing powders and forming/shaping components. This work has covered the full range of operation necessary for manufacturing ceramic components.…
