Marcello Andreeta has compiled a
comprehensive book on crystallization processes blending the fundamental
concepts and practical insights it contains. It is intended for researchers from
various disciplines such that it not only covers the scientific principles
underlying crystallization but also presents new aspects of the subject. The
text may thus be used as an overall reference as well as an introductory guide
and, therefore, will be accessible for readers with different levels of
knowledge. Through recent breakthroughs and applications in crystallization
science, this book assembles the necessary knowledge and tools that readers may
deploy in charting critical areas of this field in materials science. The
approaches taken are, therefore interdisciplinary in nature, relevant both in
academic and in industrial contexts where efforts to collaborate and innovate in
crystallization research would improve much faster.

and the methods of structure determination. Its coverage-from crystallization to
diffraction techniques, and eventually to symmetry analysis-will tackle the
subject in a step-by-step and an organized manner that provides a clear insight
into complex matters. Some critical concepts include intramolecular and
intermolecular geometry, thermal motion analysis, and hydrogen bonding. It
covers very advanced topics, like powder diffraction and graph sets, making this
note a very valuable resource for students and researchers who conduct work in
crystallography. This note is very valuable because it offers practical insight
into the interpretation and validation of crystal structures that give those
seeking to deepen their knowledge in structural chemistry and material sciences
some incredible value.
Written by Yitzhak
Mastai, this is an online book that publishes the frontier research developments
in the field of crystallization. This book is targeted towards academic
researchers and industrial chemists engaged with crucial topics such as chiral
crystallization, nanomaterial formation, and crystallization of amorphous
materials. By the text, it is very much in importance to know crystallization in
various industrial processes, including practical applications and challenges
encountered by practitioners in the field. It is an overview of both fundamental
and applied aspects of crystallization and can be taken as the material on which
reference will have to be made in the advancement of the understanding
scientists may have of the capabilities that exist in crystallization processes.
It stretches out across academia and industry so it is a tool vital for
advancing crystallization research and applications.
