Features: This book is co-authored by Dr. Monte A. Johnson, a top international aerosol expert and former president of the American Aerosol Association, along with aerosol experts You Zhongyi and Liu Junwu from China. It possesses strong technical authority. The book briefly introduces the history of aerosols, reflecting the historical inevitability and future prospects of aerosol development. It comprehensively covers the types of aerosols, formulation principles, the roles of various components, typical formulations, packaging and assembly technologies, application areas, current market status (production volume, price levels), and trends. It also provides a comprehensive summary and exploration of development approaches, quality influencing factors, and key technologies for aerosol products. The book nearly encompasses all commercially available aerosol products worldwide, including insecticidal aerosols, household aerosols, recreational aerosols, automotive and industrial aerosols, personal care aerosols, and other aerosols (e.g., personal defense, office equipment cleaning, electronic device cleaning, pet grooming, animal repelling, etc.). The book particularly emphasizes using market demand as the starting point and destination for aerosol research, and prioritizes environmental protection and sustainable development as the goals and foundation for the aerosol industry. Therefore, while offering scientific and technological insights, the book also guides readers in the direction and methods for developing aerosols, demonstrating strong practicality. It holds significant reference value for comprehensively improving China's aerosol industry level and narrowing the gap with developed countries. This book is suitable for reference by various organizations and personnel involved in aerosol research, development, production, use, and marketing, as well as technical staff and after-sales service personnel of related chemical raw material, aerosol can, aerosol valve, and other supporting raw material, equipment, and machinery production enterprises. Technical personnel, after-sales service personnel, and relevant personnel from universities, colleges, and research institutions can also benefit from this manual. The manual introduces the categories of aerosols, formulation principles, the roles of various components, typical formulations, packaging and assembly technologies, application areas, current market status, and trends. It summarizes and explores development approaches, quality influencing factors, and key technologies for aerosol products.
