Aluminum Alloys--Contemporary Research and Applications
This book discusses the structure and properties of the current and potential aluminum alloys in terms of their structure (and structural transformations by new processing methods) and the relationship between structure and mechanical and other properties. The alternative materials that challenge aluminum are considered as well, since the challenge of new competitive materials is a strong influence on innovation. The book bridges the gap between current scientific understanding and engineering practice. It is an up-to-date reference that will be of use to researchers and advanced students in metallurgy and materials engineering.
Nanostructures: Synthesis, Functional Properties and Application
The Advanced Study Institute on Synthesis, Functional Properties and Applications of Nanostructures, held at the Knossos Royal Village, Heraklion, Crete, Greece, July 26, 2002 - August 4, 2002, successfully reviewed the state-of-the-art of nanostructures and nanotechnology. It was concluded that Nanotechnology is widely agreed to be the research focus that will lead to the next generation of breakthroughs in science and engineering. There are three cornerstones to the expectation that Nanotechnology will yield revolutionary advances in understanding and application: • Breakthroughs in properties that arise from materials fabricated from the nanoscale. • Synergistic behavior that arise from the combination of disparate types of materials (soft vs. hard, organic vs. inorganic, chemical vs. biological vs. solid state) at the nanoscale. • Exploitation of natural (e.g. chemical and biological) assembly mechanisms that can accomplish structural control at the nanoscale. It is expected that this will lead to paradigms for assembling bio-inspired functional systems that accomplish desirable properties that are either unavailable or prohibitively expensive using top-down approaches.
Nanostructures
The essence of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is the ability to fabricate and engineer materials, structures and systems where the manipulation of the properties and functionalities is a result of the control of the material's building blocks whose dimension is in the nanometer regime. This book presents an in-depth description of nanostructures and the many ways that they can be advantageously engineered by the controlled assembly of suitable nano-objects as building blocks. Nanotechnology is here considered as an enabling technology by which existing materials, virtually all man-made, can acquire novel properties and functionalities, making them suitable for novel applications varying from...
