Books by Keyword: Interface

Description: This publication focuses on the structural and chemical characterization of interfaces and their kinetic, mechanical and electrical properties. The size of the volume, consisting of almost 200 papers and over 900 pages, reflects the great current interest in the field.

Description: There is extensive interest in the development of new and improved composite materials. This is particularly true of composite systems based upon metallic and ceramic constituents. As the characteristics of the interface are of central importance, there is a great incentive for an improved understanding of the nature of interfaces between constituents in such composite systems and of the factors that affect their mechanical characteristics.

Description: Ceramic matrix composites are under intense investigation internationally to find their useful application in higher temperature structures, particularly in aerospace propulsion systems.

Description: Fundamental and applied research efforts to develop, characterize, and design structures with high temperature composite materials such as metal matrix composites (MMCs) are underway across the continents. New processing methods, evaluation of critical material properties, constitutive modeling, performance prediction are important needs which are essential for effective utilization and application of these materials.

Description: The term "interface" means different things structurally, according to the materials involved and their thermal and mechanical history. Moreover, an adequate description of an interface may vary considerably, according to the property being related to it.

Description: Instabilities and patterning in driven materials are two related topics in materials science to which increasing attention has been paid in the past few years, leading to the emergence of a fastly expanding and pluridisciplinary domain. Theoretical approaches as well as simulations have yielded bases for modelling the kinetics and the dynamics of mutually interacting populations of objects, as well as various transitions towards organized configurations far from equilibrium.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The 1990's so far have seen significant developments in Materials Technology in a variety of materials classes such as Metals and Alloys, Ceramics and Coatings, Biomaterials, and Surfaces and Interfaces.

Description: In a majority of cases, the various processes which give rise to matter transport lead to the formation of new interfaces and to the concommitant development of new phases on either side of these newly created interfaces. The latter play a particularly important role, in the sense that the reactions that produce the new phases take place there.

Description: The volume presents the proceedings of the 6th European Conference, as well as the International Symposia on High Temperature Superconductors and on Mechanical Spectroscopy.

Description: The review and research papers presented in this volume may be subdivided into three aims:
(i) the investigation and modelling of interfacial structure (ii) efforts to correlate structure/property relationships and (iii) phenomenological descriptions of particular interfacial properties The conference focussed on four objectives: 1.Grain Boundaries Structure and Properties 2.Dynamical and Mechanical Properties 3.Heterophase Interfaces 4.Electrical Properties and Superconductors.
