ence of fine particles. As a Guest Editor, I approached a number of specialists
with spécifie interests in this field, soliciting contributions. Normally, an editor expects a number of requests to be declined. In this particular instance the response was overwhelming, which indicated both the enthusiasm of the people active in fine particle science and the timeliness of the topics. Thus, the MRS BULLETIN decided to dedicate two issues to this subject, December 1989 and January 1990. The December 1989 issue dealt essentially with the procédures and principes for preparing finely dispersed matter consisting of particles of différent chemical composition, shape, and size. This issue treats the problems of the mechanisms of formation of welldefined dispersions and offers examples of applications in two areas — ceramics and adhésion. Only the limitations in space prevented the editor from including other topics relevant to fine particle science and technology, which are both fascinating and useful.

Egon Matijevic, Guest Editor of this and the December 1989 issue of the MRS BULLETIN, is Distinguished University Professor at Clarkson University, Potsdam, New York. He received Chem. Eng., PhD, and Dr. Habil. degrees from the University of Zagreb (Yugoslavia) and the Dr. Sci. (Hon.) from Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA. After a year at Cambridge University (England), he joined the Clarkson faculty in 1957 where he has held various administrative positions. His research interests are mostly in various areas of colloid science, including
stabiliry phenomena, préparation and characterization of monodispersed colloids, soap précipitation, particle adhésion, aérosols, etc., in which he has published almost 400 papers. His honors include the Kendall Award of the American Chemical Society, Thomas Graham Prize of the Kolloid Gesellschaft, Gold Medal of the American Electroplaters Society, foreign membership in the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts, and honorary memberships in the American Ceramic Society and the Chemical Society of Japan. He
has delivered plenary lectures Worldwide and is consultant to major corporations in the United States and Europe.

Mark F. Buehler is a research assistant in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle. He received his BS degree in chemical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in 1984 and his MS degree in chemical engineering from the University of Washington in 1986. After working for IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, he re-
