Crystallization Related Publications and Abstracts

The Balanced Nucleation and Growth (BNG) Model

These Abstracts show the author's extended work and publications in crystallization science. The derivation of the equations is available from the publications. 

Experimental examples were obtained during the development of silver halide based products for photographic films for Eastman Kodak Company. Since leaving this company, the concepts, which are based on fundamental science, have successfully been applied to a great variety of crystallizations of organic and inorganic materials. Since the publications are spread over a wide range of (peer reviewed) journals these abstracts provide a preliminary insight in their topics. 

Note: The seminars and workshops are based on the publications and their practical applications. This information and the author's wide range of experience, will be used to solve your specific crystallization needs.
