Doremus, R H; Nordine, P C

The present conference on microgravity materials processing discusses gravitational effects in CVD, containerless processing of undercooled melts, isothermal dendritic growth, fluid mechanics and materials science experiments using acoustic levitation, the influence of thermal gravitational convection on solidification processes, applications of charged drop levitators, floating-zone processing of In in earth orbit, and the free-fall behavior of liquid-metal drops in a gaseous atmosphere. Also discussed are ultrafine particle and fiber production in microgravity, monodisperse latex particles produced in space, evaporation kinetics in the hanging drop method of protein crystal growth, phase separation kinetics in inmiscible liquids, glass formation in microgravity, and containerless metal evaporation by laser-induced fluorescence.
