The first edition was published in 1988, and then successive editions have been updated almost every ten years to meet the expanding demands of the contemporary powder and particle technology: the second edition in 1997, the third edition in 2007. More than 10 years have passed since the third edition was published. During the last decade, unprecedented progress and advancement have been made in the fundamental and applied fields: the details of conventional technologies are able to be analyzed by sophisticated methodologies and large-scale simulations; well-characterized functional particles, especially nanoparticles, were able to be synthesized and constructed into many advanced functional materials, such as, electric, mag- netic, optical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, pigment and various chemical materials; the risk and hazards of particles and nanoparticles to the human body and society have been evoked, and so on. It seems that the field of powder and particle technology is now in the new phase. In order to meet the needs of the times, this edition was updated by adding new chapters and by inviting not only active Japanese researchers but also internationally distin- guished researchers from abroad as the contributors of new and conventional chapters. Because of these ambitious approaches to the fourth edition, the volume of contents expanded greatly so that the style of the book must be changed. Hence, we are sure that this book contains the contemporary and comprehensive information on powder and particle handling technology that will be extremely useful not only for newcomers but also for professional engineers and researchers in the field of powder and particle science and technology. We would like to thank all the contributors who wrote the manuscripts with enthusiasm, and also the original authors cited in the manuscripts. We especially express our thanks to the following advisory board members who advised us from various points of view. Professor Hiroaki Masuda of Kyoto University Professor Kikuo Okuyama of Hiroshima University Professor Hidehiro Kamiya of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology We also acknowledge the constant and patient support of publishing team members of Taylor & Francis/CRC Press, espe- cially, the editorial staff, Allison Shatkin and Camilla Michael. Ko Higashitani Hisao Makino Shuji Matsusaka v Preface to the Third Edition Powders and particles are extending their applications in recent developing fields such as the information market, including mobile phones, copy machines, and electronic displays, as well as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foods, chemicals, and many other fundamental engineering fields. Nanoparticles are also promising research subjects for the development of more effec- tive applications of various particles. They need powder technology in their preparation, characterization, measurement, and functional treatment and for totally systematic handling. Since the first edition published in 1988 and the second edition in 1997, the Powder Technology Handbook has been accepted in many fields of engineering. Because of this acceptance and the encouragement of Russell Dekker, we agreed to update the book and present this third edition. This new edition has been substantially revised and expanded. The content has been updated, not only by adding newly developed areas such as simulations, surface analysis, and nanoparticles, but also by introducing new young authors. Some sections are combined, so that the readers can easily refer to the subject. We hope this handbook will serve as a strong guide to the field of powder and particle technology. Special acknowledgment is given to all contributors and also to all the original authors whose valuable work is cited in this handbook. We also extend acknowledgment to Dr. Matsusaka, associate professor of Kyoto University, for his collaboration on the editing work. With this, our third edition, we thank our new editorial staff: Kari Budyk, Tao Woolfe, and others at Taylor & Francis Books (formerly Marcel Dekker) for their laborious editing and production work. Hiroaki Masuda Ko Higashitani Hideto Yoshida vii Preface to the Second Edition Since first published in 1988, the Powder Technology Handbook has been accepted as a reference in many areas of engineer- ing. Because of this acceptance and the support of Russell Dekker, the Chief Publishing Officer of our publisher, we agreed to update the book and present this second edition. This entire book has been substantially revised. American and European authors have been invited to join the Japanese authors who participated in writing the first edition, giving the book a wider viewpoint. In response to reviews for the first edi- tion, the contents have been reorganized. New sections have been added to treat the recent advances in computer simulation (V.19) and working atmospheres and hazards (VII.1–VII.3). This second edition contains a more detailed table of contents so that readers can understand the whole range of the handbook. It is hoped that this handbook will serve as a strong guide to the field of particle technology. Special acknowledgment is given to Dr. Koichi Iinoya, professor emeritus of Kyoto University, for his advisory work. This second edition is dedicated to him on the occasion of his 80th year of age. We are indebted to Joseph Stubenrauch and others at Marcel Dekker, Inc., for their laborious editing work. Keishi Gotoh Hiroaki Masuda Ko Higashitani ix
