Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Four thick volumes present approximately 800 papers (including keynote addresses) from the August 2009 conference held in Berlin, Germany and co-sponsored by The Minerals, Metals, & Materials Society (TMS), USA. A sampling of general themes: aluminum alloys & aerospace structural metallic materials, biomaterials and biomedical applications, surface engineering & coatings, composites, fuel cells, friction stir welding, nanostructured materials, severe plastic deformation, smart materials and processes, superalloys, thin films, steels & thin slab and strip casting, welding and joining, and mechanical behavior & fracture. A more specific sampling of paper topics: pulsed laser deposition of thin coatings; chitosan as a material stabilizer for acidic polysaccharides, ion leaching from implantable medical devices, ceramic target materials for sputtering applications, and high-strength natural fibers for improved polymer matrix composites. A keyword index is supplied.
