Doping nanoparticles into polymers and ceramics using ultrasound radiation

Ultrason Sonochem. 2007 Apr;14(4):418-30. doi: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2006.08.005. Epub 2007 Jan 8.

Abstract

In materials science, sonochemistry is mostly used for the fabrication of nanomaterials, but it has also been used for the polymerization of monomers. The current review is aimed at introducing a new application of sonochemistry to materials science, i.e., the doping of nanoparticles into polymers and ceramic bodies. The introduction will present a short overview of sonochemistry, and will outline the advantages of sonochemistry as a tool for fabricating nanomaterials.
