Plasma Synthesis and Processing of Materials

Booknews

Scientists involved in plasma processing and in materials science explore where their fields overlap, in the plasma processing and synthesis of advanced materials. In 16 papers from a February 1993 symposium in Denver, they discuss ceramic and ceramic- matrix composites, the low-pressure deposition of diamond from water and methanol gas mixtures, plasma heat transfer, the kinetic modeling of titanium carbide synthesis, and other topics. Some of the typefaces are a bit difficult to read. No subject index. The price for members is $38. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
