The book introduces the oscillatory reaction and pattern
formation in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction that became
model for investigating a wide range of intriguing pattern
formations in chemical systems. So many modifications in classic
version of BZ reaction have been carried out in various
experimental conditions that demonstrate rich varieties of
temporal oscillations and spatio-temporal patterns in non-
equilibrium conditions. Mixed-mode versions of BZ reactions,
which comprise a pair of organic substrates or dual metal
catalysts, have displayed very complex oscillating behaviours and
novel space-time patterns during reaction processes. These
characteristic spatio-temporal properties of BZ reactions have
attracted increasing attention of the scientific community in
recent years because of its comparable periodic structures in
electrochemical systems, polymerization processes, and
non-equilibrium crystallization phenomena. Instead,
non-equilibrium crystallization phenomena which lead to
development of novel crystal morphologies in constraint of
thermodynamic equilibrium conditions have been investigated and
are said to be stationary periodic structures. Efforts have
continued to analyze insight mechanisms and roles of
reaction-diffusion mechanism and self-organization in the growth
of such periodic crystal patterns. In this book, non-equilibrium
crystallization phenomena, leading to growth of some novel
crystal patterns in dual organic substrate modes of oscillatory
BZ reactions have been discussed. Efforts have been made to find
out experimental parameters where transitions of the spherulitic
crystal patterns take place. The book provides the scientific
community and entrepreneurs with a thorough understanding and
knowledge of the growth and form of branched crystal pattern in
reaction-diffusion system and their morphological
transition.
