In the 1980's sonochemistry was considered to be a rather
restricted branch of chemistry involving the ways in which
ultrasound could improve synthetic procedures, predominantly in
heterogeneous systems and particularly for organometallic
reactions. Within a few years the subject began to expand into
other disciplines including food technology, environmental
protection and the extraction of natural materials. Scientific
interest grew and led to the formation of the European Society of
Sonochemistry in 1990 and the launch of a new journal Ultrasonics
Sonochemistry in 1994. The subject continues to develop as an
exciting and multi-disciplinary science with the participation of
not only chemists but also physicists, engineers and biologists.
The resulting cross-fertilisation of ideas has led to the rapid
growth of interdisciplinary research and provided an ideal way for
young researchers to expand their knowledge and appreciation of the
ways in which different sciences can interact. It expands
scientific knowledge through an opening of the closed doors that
sometimes restrict the more specialist sciences. The journey of
exploration in sonochemistry and its expansion into new fields of
science and engineering is recounted in "Sonochemistry Evolution
and Expansion" written by two pioneers in the field. It is unlike
other texts about sonochemistry in that it follows the
chronological developments in several very different applications
of sonochemistry through the research experiences of the two
authors Tim Mason and Mircea Vinatoru. Designed for chemists and
chemical engineers Written by two experts and practitioners in the
subject Volume 1 covers the historical background and evolution of
sonochemistry Volume 2 explains the wider applications and
expansion of the subject VOLUME 1 Fundamentals and Evolution This
volume traces the evolution of sonochemistry from the very
beginning when the effects of acoustic cavitation were first
reported almost as a scientific curiosity. The major developments
of the subject from the 1980's are described by the authors who
became active participants in the field during that period. A
chapter is devoted to ultrasonically assisted extraction (UAE)
which illustrates the different ways in which sonochemical
technologies can be applied in both batch and flow modes leading to
the development of large-scale processing. The chapter on
environmental protection shows the wide range of applications of
sonochemistry in this important field for both biological and
chemical decontamination.

Volume 2 contains six chapters which detail the developments of
sonochemistry in fields which continue to attract considerable
research and development interest from academia and industry. The
topics range from the important developments in chemical synthesis
through food technology and materials processing to therapeutic
ultrasound. The authors have made contributions to all of these and
so the content is written in a way which should be understandable
to readers whose expertise may not necessarily be in the individual
topic. Each of the applications and developments described help to
illustrate not only the diverse nature of sonochemistry but also
the unifying theme of the effects of acoustic cavitation on a wide
range of procedures.
