Books by Keyword: Thermal Conductivity

Description: Modern Engineering and Physics very often deal with the need for the design of natural or induced phenomena and processes and this is especially true in the problems involving heat transfer or fluid flows, often on the basis of a Thermodynamic viewpoint or of the Constructal Law. These broad areas of research are presented in this special issue of the journal "Defect and Diffusion Forum".

Description: This special volume on Materials Integration is based upon peer-reviewed papers selected from those presented at the International Symposium on the Global COE program, in conjunction with the 2nd International Symposium on Advanced Synthesis and Processing Technology for Materials (ASPT2011) and the 8th Materials Science School for Young Scientists, Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University (Kinken-Wakate 2011).
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This volume covered the principal research fields of (i) Infrastructural and Bio- materials, (ii) Electronic materials, (iii) Energy and Environmental materials and (iv) Basic materials science. Materials integration is expected to produce a synergistic effect and permit the development and production of non-conventional materials exhibiting new functionalities.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
The field of “polymers in concrete” is rather well consolidated within the construction industry, and its future will be one of benefiting fully from the synergy between the organic and mineral materials. Concrete-polymer composites (C-PC) exhibit excellent adhesion strength and durability in aggressive environments and the good performance of these materials makes innovative applications possible; including new technologies for restoring and renovating buildings.
