Description: The articles of this special edition refer to various branches of modern engineering sciences. Still, they are united by one thing - the underlying principles of their research are diffusion phenomena and heat and mass transfer processes. The special edition will be helpful to researchers and engineers from many branches of modern production and engineering science.

Nitrides and Oxynitrides 2

Edited by: M.J. Pomeroy, S. Hampshire, M.A. Centeno, J.A. Odriozola and Y. Laurent

Online since: December 2001

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This volume is dedicated to the ever-expanding fields of application of nitrides in ceramics, metals, glasses, composites, coatings, sensors, catalysts and electronic thin films. The papers cover all branches of materials science and engineering which concern the role of nitrogen in improving and modifying the properties of materials; particularly those destined for novel applications. All of the papers have been peer-reviewed prior to publication, so that this book will make a very significant contribution to assessing the current state-of-the-art concerning Nitrides and Oxynitrides.

Engineering Ceramics: Multifunctional Properties

Edited by: P. Sajgalík and Z. Lencés

Online since: October 1999

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This work represents a new approach to ceramics research. The mechanical properties of ceramics and ceramic-based composites are well understood and have been studied extensively in the past. This more profound understanding of physical properties, such as particularly low or high thermal conductivities, radiation penetration depth, electrical and magnetic responses etc., can now lead to the development of new materials having improved properties.
