Materials Science

Drawing from the third edition of The Coatings Technology Handbook, this text concentrates exclusively on the raw materials used in the coatings, adhesives, paints, and inks industries. The book examines the uses for resins, solvents, pigments, and additives based on their chemical properties. It di..

Pioneered by the pharmaceutical industry and adapted for the purposes of materials science and engineering, the combinatorial method is now widely considered a watershed in the accelerated discovery, development, and optimization of new materials. Combinatorial Materials Synthesis reveals the gears ..

This interdisciplinary volume comprises papers from several fields related to compaction. Topics include: soil compaction for pavements and roads; deep soil compaction by vibration, impact and underground explosion; compaction control; and compact.....

Written to help professionals, researchers, and students discover the challenges and opportunities associated with development of next-generation nanoscale computational nanotechnology, this book covers a broad range of technical information, research ideas, and practical knowledge regarding applica..

_x000D_ Constitutive Models for Rubber IX offers engineers, scientists and postgraduate students an overview of recent theoretical and experimental research on the behaviour, properties and modelling of rubber...

The emphasis in characterising isochoric materials has shifted significantly away from understanding and modelling hyperelastic material behaviour, to a position where it it is possible to design and manufacture rubber components having the functionality and resilience to meet the dynamic loading an..

State-of-the-art technology in terms of constitutive modeling, numerical implementation, damage and fatigue resistance are strongly represented in Constitutive Models for Rubber VIII. The book is of interest not only for undergraduates, postgraduates, academics and researchers in the discipline, but..

This book compiles contributions to the tenth European Conference on Constitutive Models for Rubber (Munich, 28-31 August 2017), which reflect the state of-the-art in material modelling and testing of elastomers, and cover the fields of material testing and processing, filler reinforcement, electrom..

This book covers the corrosion behavior in sea water of steel, stainless steel and cast iron as well as alloys of copper, aluminum, nickel and titanium. Applications, commonly-used alloy compositions and mechanical properties are also covered for each alloy system, plus a special section is devoted ..

This book addresses the fields of biodegradation, environmental degradation, and photochemical degradation. The purpose of the book is to establish guidelines for terminology, nomenclature, characterization techniques and methodology, mechanisms of degradation, standard reference materials, and issu..

A guide to scanning and transmission microscopes and to the analytical techniques based on them. It covers the techniques of electron energy loss spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. It compares electron microscopic techniques to many of the competing physical investigative techniques ..

Electron Microscopy and Analysis deals with several sophisticated techniques for magnifying images of very small objects by large amounts - especially in a physical science context. It has been ten years since the last edition of Electron Microscopy and Analysis was published and there have been rap..
