Augmented Materials and Smart Objects investigates the issues required to ensure technology platforms capable of being seamlessly integrated into everyday objects. In particular, it deals with the requirements for integrated computation and MEMs sensors, system-in-a-package solutions, and multi-chip modules. On top of this, the publication’s 500 pages cover the impact of the trend towards embedded microelectronic electronics sub-systems, novel assembly techniques for autonomous MEMs sensors, and practical performance issues that are key to the AmI concept.
Deep Space Craft opens the door to interplanetary flight. It looks at this world from the vantage point of real operations on a specific mission, and follows a natural trail from the day-to-day working of this particular spacecraft, through the functioning of all spacecraft to the collaboration of the various disciplines to produce the results for which a spacecraft is designed. These results are of course mostly of a scientific nature, although a small number of interplanetary missions are also flown primarily to test and prove new engineering techniques. The author shows how, in order to make sense of all the scientific data coming back to Earth, the need for experiments and instrumentatio...
Covering all aspects of the analysis of plastics by chemical and physical methods, this book is based on both the author's personal experience and on a complete review of world literature on the subject. Each of the eight chapters deals with a particular polymer or group of polymers and copolymers and terpolymers are also fully discussed. In addition to the analysis of the polymers the analysis of non-polymer components of the polymer, whether adventicious (water, solvents, monomers, catalyst residues, etc.) or deliberately added (processing additives, antioxidants, plasticisers, etc.) is covered at the end of the chapter or section.

Polymer Chemistry is a subdiscipline of chemistry that focuses on the chemical synthesis, structure and chemical and physical properties of polymers and macromolecules. The principles and methods used in polymer chemistry are also applicable through a wide range of other subdisciplines like Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. Polymer Chemistry can also be included in broader fields of Polymer science or even nanotechnology, both of which can be described as encompassing polymer physics and polymer engineering. This book provides a comprehensive introduction and circumscribes the recent development in the realm of polymer science in a multi-mode model. The book emphasizes both theoretical perspectives along with examples to make readers understand the subject in depth alongside also presents subjective, objective-cum-numerical problems enabling students to prepare for various competitive examinations.
