Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This special collection focuses on the most up-to-date knowledge concerning Glass Science and Technology.
It covers various aspects of glass science and glass technology, mutual interactions between glass science and glass technology, and their influence upon the glass industry. Special attention is paid to new challenges to glass in the 21st century. The contributions deal with topics related to understanding and predicting the chemistry and technology of processing, fabrication, structure, properties and history of glass.

Description: This special-topic book, devoted to “Solid Phase Transformations” , covers a broad range of phenomena which are of importance in a number of technological processes. Most commercial alloys undergo thermal treatment after casting, with the aim of imparting desired compositions and/or optimal morphologies to the component phases.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The main goal of these proceedings was to demonstrate the use of a variety of multi-scale approaches, ranging from the atomistic to the macroscopic level, and in this it succeeds admirably.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The inspiration for this book was to gather together the efforts of those physicists, materials scientists/engineers and other scientists who are carrying out interdisciplinary research into multiscale modelling of time-evolving phenomena in materials.

Description: The present set of volumes comprises selected papers from the 5th International Conference on the Processing and Manufacturing of Advanced Materials – THERMEC’2006 - held from July 4-8, 2006 in Vancouver, Canada.

Description: The world production of primary and recycled aluminum continues to increase and, over the past twenty years, has risen from ~15 Mt/y in 1985 to ~32 Mt/y in 2005. The main consumers are transportation, beverage and other packaging, and building construction. The global primary aluminum production has been growing by about 2-3% per year. However, growth rates over the last decade have been much higher. In particular, during the past five years, China has played a critical role in aluminum production and has gone through a dramatic period of growth.
