The field of manufacturing science has evolved over the years with the introduction of non-traditional machining processes. This reference book introduces the latest trends in modeling and optimization of manufacturing processes. It comprehensively covers important topics including additive manufacturing at multi-scales, sustainable manufacturing, rapid manufacturing of metallic components using 3D printing, ultrasonic-assisted bone drilling for biomedical applications, micromachining, and laser-assisted machining. This book is useful to senior undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of mechanical engineering, industrial and production engineering, and aerospace engineering.
The 15 chapters in this book discuss conventional latices of the type used in architectural, photographic, and paper coatings, and aqueous epoxy and polyurethane dispersions used in original equipment manufacturer coatings. Topics include their synthesis from the view of their chain-growth or step-growth mechanism, stabilizers employed in the production of the disperse phase, and the compositional influences of the resin particle on their interfacial energies and morphology. Also covered is the radiation curing of applied aqueous dispersions, the properties of different resin types, surfactant orientations at the film substrate and air interfaces, recent studies on the particle coalescence of step-growth oligomer dispersions, the interactions of dispersions and dispersion rheology, and the spray application of waterborne coatings.

This volume presents the latest advances in the areas of bioactive coatings, nanotechnology based coatings, and novel coatings.
Best known for their use as bulk materials, polymers when used in small amounts as rheology modifiers can convert simple fluids to high-performance materials. Such additives have found use in paints and coatings, fuels and lubricating oils, cosmetics and personal care products, and food. This 20-chapter book presents a strong mix of industrial and academic contributions that cover rheological concepts, gels and latices, associating polymers, polymer-polymer and polymer-solvent interactions, and deformation-related orientations.
