Books by Keyword: Corrosion Prevention

Description: Nowadays trend in application of eco policy, more strict legislative and globalisation in economy together with research and development in emerging technologies such as nanotechnology bringing also new corrosion challenges into the power industry sector. New alloys and composite materials, eco-friendly energy systems, effective monitoring techniques and sophisticated prediction methods contribute on safer and more reliable operation of energy units. All up-mentioned circumstances required interdisciplinary approach to build perspective solutions with aim to minimize degradation process of components made from different materials used in power industry. In this special issue You can find papers dealing with application of nanotechnologies, corrosion monitoring techniques, materials characterisation but also several case studies from corrosion failures in power industry. All these information contribute on expansion of knowledge database, which is highly sufficient in the area with main aim to prevent against corrosion failures.

Description: The XXII International Materials Research Congress (IMRC) was held in Cancun Mexico from 11 to 15 August 2013. It was organized by the Sociedad Mexicana de Materiales (SMM) and the Materials Research Society (MRS). The IMRC 2013 included 5 plenary lectures, 1 science luncheon, 287 invited talks, and 1851 oral and poster presentations distributed in 30 different symposia, in addition, 6 tutorial courses were presented. About 1600 specialized scientists from more than 40 countries participated during the congress. The aim of the IMRC is provide an interactive forum to discuss and exchange ideas about the advances in synthesis, characterization, properties, processing, applications, basic research trends, corrosion prevention, and more, all related to the area of materials science and engineering. This event provides an excellent opportunity for materials scientists around the world to have a space to exchange their ideas and to discuss their results.
