Electrocatalysts developed from ion-implanted carbon materials -- 18. Carbon nanoparticle production in plasma filaments generated by intense femtosecond laser pulses.This book focuses on chemical reactions and processing under extreme conditions—how materials react with highly concentrated active species and/or in a very confined high-temperature and high-pressure volume. Those ultimate reaction environments created by a focused laser beam, discharges, ion bombardments, or microwaves provide characteristic nano- and submicron-sized products and functional nanostructures. The book explores the chemistry and processing of metals and non-metals as well as molecules that are strongly dependent on the energy deposition processes and character of the materials. Descriptions of a wide range of topics are given from the perspective of a variety of research methodologies, material preparations, and applications. The reader is led to consider and review how a high-energy source interacts with materials, and what the key factors are that determine the quality and quantity of nanoproducts and nano-processing.Chemistry and Materials Science SeriesChemistryNanoparticlesReaction mechanisms (Chemistry)NanochemistryLaser plasmasChemical reactionsMicrowavesNanoparticle SynthesisNanoparticlesReaction MechanismsNanochemistryLaser-produced PlasmaMicrowave ChemistryChemistry.Nanoparticles.Reaction mechanisms (Chemistry)Nanochemistry.Laser plasmas.Chemical reactions.Microwaves.Nanoparticle Synthesis.Nanoparticles.Reaction Mechanisms.Nanochemistry.Laser-produced Plasma.Microwave Chemistry.541.3Ishikawa YoshieMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910743220203321High-Energy Chemistry and Processing in Liquids2762733UNINA09094oam 2200517I 450 991097414580332120251116172625.00-429-51633-90-429-51290-20-429-24318-910.4324/9780429243189(CKB)4100000009930697(MiAaPQ)EBC5985851(OCoLC)1129158850(OCoLC-P)1129158850(FlBoTFG)9780429243189(EXLCZ)99410000000993069720191204h20202020 uy 0engurcnu---unuuutxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBecoming a social entrepreneur starting out, scaling up and staying true /Michael Gordon1st ed.Abingdon, Oxon ;New York, NY :Routledge,2020.©20201 online resource (391 pages)0-367-19773-1 0-367-19772-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Cover -- Half Title -- Endorsement Page -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Table of Contents -- Preface: Listening to social entrepreneurs -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Part 1: Before you -- Chapter 1: Lessons to learn -- Sanga's birthday -- Lessons left on the ground -- Note -- Chapter 2: Are you a social entrepreneur? -- A new wave -- From the sweet spot toward profit -- Which market? -- Mission, not profit, lights the way -- Are you a social entrepreneur?
