Sonochemistry with Other Specified Fields Practical Consequences

Comparison of Sonochemistry with Other Specified Fields Practical Consequences 

Many sonochemists or users of the methods tend to compare sonochemistry to the chemistries produced by other well-established physical agents, heat, electricity, pressure, etc. This tendency is easily understood cavitation produces such a superposition of phenomena, and the present state of the theories is so complex, that a normal effort of rationalization leads to drawing analogies with more traditional methods based on a single physical effect. Our opinion is that such a reduction has its own richness and potential danger.
