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 Chinese aerosol experts You Zhongyi and Liu Junwu, possessing 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 each component, typical formulations, packaging and assembly technologies, application fields, current market status (production volume, price levels), and trends. It also fully summarizes and explores the development approaches, quality influencing factors, and key technologies of aerosol products. The book nearly encompasses all commercially available aerosol varieties worldwide, including insecticidal aerosols, household aerosols, pleasure-use 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, with environmental protection and sustainable development as the goals and foundation for the aerosol industry. Therefore, while providing scientific and technological inspiration, the book also guides readers in the direction and methods of aerosol research and development, offering strong practicality. It holds significant reference value for comprehensively improving China's aerosol industry level and bridging the gap with developed countries. The 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 production enterprises. Technical personnel of universities, colleges, and research institutions are also welcome to use this manual. It introduces the categories, formulation principles, roles of each component, typical formulations, packaging and assembly technologies, application fields, market status, and trends of aerosols; summarizes and explores the development approaches, quality influencing factors, and key technologies of aerosol products.
