Observations on the Role of Interfacial Phenomena in Materials Processing

Abstract

Examples of the role interfacial phenomena can play in materials processing are highlighted in the description of a number of recent research studies conducted at Imperial College. Interfacial phenomena play critical roles in increasing or retarding the rates of chemical reaction and in promoting or hindering wetting and dispersion of phases in each other. © 1993, The Iron and Steel Institute of Japan.
