Particuology

The word ‘particuology’ was coined to parallel the discipline for the science and technology of particles.Particuology is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes frontier research articles and critical reviews on the discovery, formulation and engineering of particulate materials, processes and systems. It especially welcomes contributions utilising advanced theoretical, modelling and measurement methods to enable the discovery and creation of new particulate materials, and the manufacturing of functional particulate-based products, such as sensors.Papers are handled by Thematic Editors who oversee contributions from specific subject fields. These fields are classified into: Particle Synthesis and Modification; Particle Characterization and Measurement; Granular Systems and Bulk Solids Technology; Fluidization and Particle-Fluid Systems; Aerosols; and Applications of Particle Technology.Key topics concerning the creation and processing of particulates include:Modelling and simulation of particle formation, collective behaviour of particles and systems for particle production over a broad spectrum of length scalesMining of experimental data for particle synthesis and surface properties to facilitate the creation of new materials and processesParticle design and preparation including controlled response and sensing functionalities in formation, delivery systems and biological systems, etc.Experimental and computational methods for visualization and analysis of particulate systemThese topics are broadly relevant to the production of materials, pharmaceuticals and food, and to the conversion of energy resources to fuels and protection of the environment.With a focus on new learning related to complex multi-scale systems and phenomena, Particuology especially welcomes and now provides a platform for themes related to meso-science. This emerging field recognises that common phenomena can be observed across length scales ranging from elemental particles through to that of the observable universe. Since particulate systems are ubiquitous in various fields, this initiative extends the scope of the journal, while maintaining a focus on the common scientific challenges for these fields.

“粒子学”这个词是为了平行于粒子科学和技术的学科而创造的。《粒子学》是一本跨学科的期刊，发表了关于微粒材料、工艺和系统的发现、配方和工程的前沿研究文章和评论。它特别欢迎利用先进的理论、建模和测量方法来发现和创造新的微粒材料，以及制造功能性微粒基产品（如传感器）的贡献。论文由专题编辑处理，他们监督来自特定主题领域的贡献。这些领域分为：颗粒合成与改性；颗粒表征与测量；颗粒系统与固体散装技术；流化与颗粒流体系统；气溶胶；以及颗粒技术的应用。关于微粒的产生和处理的关键主题包括：在广谱长度尺度上粒子形成、粒子集体行为和粒子产生系统的建模和模拟挖掘颗粒合成和表面特性的实验数据，以促进新材料和工艺的创建。颗粒设计和制备，包括在形成、输送系统和生物系统中的受控响应和传感功能等。颗粒系统可视化与分析的实验与计算方法这些主题广泛涉及材料、药品和食品的生产，以及能源转化为燃料和环境保护。随着对与复杂的多尺度系统和现象相关的新学习的关注，尤其是对涉及介观科学的主题的研究，尤其受到重视，并为其提供了一个平台。这一新兴领域认识到，从元素粒子到可观测宇宙的常见现象都可以在长度尺度上观察到。由于微粒系统普遍存在于各个领域，这项倡议扩大了期刊的范围，同时保持了对这些领域常见科学挑战的关注。
