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 建模和模拟：颗粒物结构、颗粒物聚集，以及各种尺度颗粒物发生系统
Mining of experimental data 颗粒物合成和表面特性的实验数据，以促进新材料和工艺的创造
Particle design and preparation 颗粒物设计和制备，包括生成、输送系统和生物系统等中的受控响应和传感功能。
Experimental and computational methods 用于颗粒物系统可视化和分析的实验和计算方法
These 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.
