This book summarizes the general concepts of the self-healing processes, starting with their occurrences in nature (plants, human skin, etc.) and leading to the most recent academic and industrial advances. It includes a detailed description and explanation of a wide range of materials and applications, such as polymeric, anticorrosion, smart paints, satellite coatings, etc. A particular emphasis will be given to the space environment (in terms of vacuum, thermal gradients, mechanical vibrations, space radiation, etc.). The book discusses the most recent and innovative results towards controlling the self-healing materials for the space debris mitigation. It concludes with a comprehensive outlook into the future developments and applications. An extensive survey of published papers and conference reports is also included.
The burgeoning field of nanotechnology has led to many recent technological innovations and discoveries. Understanding the impact of these technologies on business, science, and industry is an important first step in developing applications for a variety of settings and contexts. Handbook of Research on Nanoscience, Nanotechnology, and Advanced Materials presents a detailed analysis of current experimental and theoretical approaches surrounding nanomaterials science. With applications in fields such as biomedicine, renewable energy, and synthetic materials, the research in this book will provide experimentalists, professionals, students, and academics with an in-depth understanding of nanoscience and its impact on modern technology.
Harvesting biomechanical energy is a viable solution for sustainably-powering wearable electronics for continuous medical health monitoring, remote sensing, and motion tracking. This book discusses vibration-based piezoelectric, electromagnetic and hybrid energy harvesters, and addresses their modelling, fabrication and characterization.

Composite materials are engineered from two or more constituents with significantly altered physical or chemical properties within the finished structure. Due to their special mechanical and physical properties they have the potential to replace conventional materials. This book, written by experts from all over the world, presents fundamentals and recent advances on ceramic matrix composites.
