Another approach is to use the LB film as a template to limit the size of growing colloids such as the Q-state semiconductors that have applications in nonlinear optical devices. Furlong and co-workers have successfully synthesized CdSe [186] and CdS [187] nanoparticles (<5 nm in radius) in Cd arachidate LB films. Finally, as a low-temperature ceramic process, LB films can be converted to oxide layers by UV and ozone treatment examples are polydimethylsiloxane films to make SiO [188] and Cd arachidate to make CdOjt [189]. 

The chemical potential of a curved surface is extremely critical in ceramic processing. It detemiines reactivity, tlie solubility of a solid in a liquid, tire rate of liquid evaporation from solid surfaces, and material transport during sintering. 

This chapter will describe some of tire basic unit processes in ceramic manufacturing, and will touch on tire pertinence of tire physical chemistry of surfaces in selected unit processes. For a more comprehensive review of ceramics and ceramic processing, tire reader is referred to otlrer sources [3, 4 and 5].
