Description: These proceedings, comprising 66 peer-review papers, are divided into 10 chapters covering: fundamental aspects (of positron and positronium chemistry), membranes, molecular systems, confined systems, liquids, polymers, porous systems, non-metallic materials, nuclear materials, experimental techniques. This work owes a lot to the authors’ commitment to positron and positronium chemistry and related subjects.

Near-Surface Depth Profiling of Solids by Mono-Energetic Positrons

Edited by: Bichitra Nandi Ganguly and Dr. Gerhard Brauer

Online since: September 2012

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).
This work reflects the wide and fascinating range of fields to which positrons have made important contributions. This covers, in particular, the development of low-energy (eV-keV) beams of essentially mono-energetic positrons, in the late 1960s, which opened the door to an even wider range of fundamental and technological studies: from surface physics to polymer films. In her introduction Professor Ganguly offers some background knowledge on the extent to which positrons have influenced and contributed to work in numerous fields.

Electrophoretic Deposition: Fundamentals and Applications IV

Edited by: A. R. Boccaccini, O. Van der Biest, R. Clasen and J.H. Dickerson

Online since: March 2012

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The contributions to this special collection cover a wide range of subject areas related to EPD and reflect the impressive versatility of that technique for materials processing. The topics discussed range from theoretical studies of the fundamental mechanisms of EPD, to novel techniques which exploit EPD for the efficient and cost-effective fabrication of a variety of advanced materials.

Advances in Abrasive Processes

Edited by: Prof. Xi Peng Xu, Jian Yun Shen and Yuan Li

Online since: June 2001

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Extensive research during the past 30 years has provided a relatively complete understanding of the many diverse aspects of abrasive processes which are suitable for the final machining of components that require smooth surfaces and precise tolerances. Although widely used in industry, abrasive treatments remain perhaps the least understood of all machining processes. Advances in the field of abrasive processes are therefore of great fundamental and practical interest.
