Inorganic Oxide Surfaces
Synopsis:
The aim of the theme is to share ideas and information about
recent research and development of inorganic oxide surfaces,
particularly where they relate to minerals and materials processing
industries such as alumina refining, ceramic, pigment, electronic
and super/semiconductor. Papers on oxides and/or hydroxides
such as alumina, aluminium hydroxides, silica, titania, zirconia,
hematite, magnetite, uranium oxides and aluminosilicates of
nanometer, colloidal and macroscopic dimensions in solution,
air or in vacuo are solicited. Possible topics of interest
include surface charging behaviour, suspension rheology, adsorption
to surfaces, particle interactions (surface forces), crystallisation,
sol-gel synthesis and sustainable processing challenges.
