Dr. McCreary is interested in the study of vaporization, atomization, and excitation processes in analytical plasmas, and in developing improved sample introduction devices for analytical atomic spectrometry. A recent study involved electrothermal vaporization with a low-power, low-pressure ICP. Dr. McCreary is currently investigating ballistic properties of solid composite rocket propellant.

 

Dr. McCreary has just published his new book on Experimental Composite Propellant.  Please see a recent review for more details or E-mail him directly.
