Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This collection reflects the current worldwide state of knowledge concerning the latest scientific concepts and technological developments in the characterization, testing, mechanics, modelling, manufacturing and applications of various classes of composite materials and structures. It is also intended to promote the sharing of ideas and emerging technologies, as well as to foster R & D collaboration among academia, research institutions and the relevant industries.

Description: This collection presents 23 papers. Altogether, the collection offers up-to-date information on Advanced Inorganic Fibrous Composites.

The literature on fracture accumulated over the past few decades is abundant. It would be too overwhelmingly difficult to name every original contribution to the field by different individuals. Yet, a quick glance through even very limited part of the vast fracture literature in the past thirty or forty years or so, one is bound to come across one name - Yiu-Wing Mai, whose work covers fracture mechanics modeling on various toughening mechanisms, microstructure and property relations, processing and testing of polymers, ceramics, metals and their respective composites, and in recent years on nano- and bio- materials.

The aim of this book is to review recent progress in the understanding of the new properties, or unusual combinations of properties, possessed by nanostructured materials; with particular emphasis being placed on interfacial effects.

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) exhibit spatial variations, in composition and/or microstructure, which have been imposed for the specific purpose of controlling the resultant variations in the thermal, structural or functional properties.

During the past two decades, China (whose very name of course has long been synonymous with 'ceramic' in the English language) has continued its ancient history of technological excellence in this field by also becoming one of the most active centres of scientific excellence in the field of high- performance ceramics. Building upon the success of the first conference in the series, the Second China International Conference on High-Performance Ceramics (CICC-2) offered an international forum for the presentation, discussion and review of the latest advances in the science and technology of high-performance ceramics.

There is now a tremendous worldwide interest in functional biomaterials. The present book covers the major aspects of the field. It is divided into four parts. The first section (A) covers various aspects of joint replacement. Section B presents the topic of dental ceramics, while Section C describes the microstructural aspects of biomaterials. Finally, some of the recent innovations in biomechanics are discussed (Section D), together with some features of bioengineering.

Description: This book presents ten chapters on the science and engineering of durable surfaces. The first section focusses on various types of surfaces and advanced coating processes, while the second part concentrates particularly on thermal barrier coatings. The book covers both, in-depth state-of-the-art reviews as well as cutting-edge new information emerging from ongoing research:

Description: Silicon carbide is the semiconductor of choice for new applications including electric power devices, high frequency devices, high temperature devices, and radiation resistant devices. The III-Nitride compound semiconductors are well suited for optoelectronics and are promising materials for high frequency devices. This two-volume set contains written versions of papers presented at the International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials – 1999 (ICSCRM’99), held October 10-15, 1999, at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.

Description: With the continuing evolution of fabrication techniques and new structures for semiconducting materials, the list of new defect phenomena has also increased apace. The present book discusses point defects, defect-assisted diffusion, metal impurity additions, metastable defects, magnetic hyperfine interaction of deep donors in compound semiconductors, and oxygen and hydrogen impurity defects.
