This book begins by giving a summary of sonochemistry
and explains how a chemical reaction can be induced by the interaction of sound
waves and gas bubbles in liquids. The work outlines how primary and secondary
radicals combined with the physical effects generated during acoustic
cavitation are active in the ultrasonic synthesis of a variety of functional
materials. The brief covers hot topics that include ultrasonic synthesis of
various functional materials covering the following broad areas: acoustic cavitation
and sonochemistry, synthesis of functional polymers and their applications, synthesis
of functional inorganic materials and their applications, improving functionality of food/dairy systems, synthesis of functional
biomaterials and their applications, synthesis of graphene based catalytic materials.
Theory is kept to a minimum. The book is aimed at individuals at universities
and will also interest those in industry. It is suitable for all levels.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Prof Muthupandian Ashokkumar obtained his Bachelor of Science (1982) and Master (1984) degrees from Madurai- Kamaraj University. In 1989 he obtained his PhD from University of Madras, India.
Ashokkumar is a Professor in the School of Chemistry, The University of Melbourne. Within the school, he is the Group Leader of the Sonochemistry Research Group.
The group has been exploring various industrial applications of ultrasound. In collaboration with Food Science Australia, they have also been investigating the use of ultrasound in food processing applications. The sonochemistry research group has also been exploring the use of ultrasound for synthesising targeted drug delivery agents. In addition, they use ultrasound to generate efficient catalytic materials for wastewater treatment using alternative energy resources such as solar energy.
Ashokkumar has received a number of awards including Grimwade Prize in Industrial Chemistry.
Ashokkumar is also a member ofthe University of Melbourne Energy Institute (MEI) Built Environment research group.
