Preface xi<br />

but I have not entered <strong>in</strong>to the field <strong>of</strong> silicon-conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g ceramics obta<strong>in</strong>ed by<br />

chemical vapour deposition techniques, although gaseous silyl radicals are<br />

thought to be essential.<br />

S<strong>in</strong>ce this book ma<strong>in</strong>ly deals with the literature on silyl radicals after the<br />

1980s, the references quoted for the early work are not always the sem<strong>in</strong>al ones<br />

but the available reviews. I hope that early experts <strong>in</strong> the field will forgive me if<br />

they f<strong>in</strong>d their pet paper uncited. I have tried to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> an essential simplicity<br />

and readability <strong>of</strong> the text, and hope that I have succeeded so that the book is<br />

easily consulted also by nonexperts. I also hope that this book serves as an<br />

important l<strong>in</strong>k between the various areas <strong>of</strong> chemistry.<br />
