  • Glasses for Photonics by Masayuki Yamane

    By Masayuki Yamane

    Glasses with photonic homes have nice strength and are anticipated to play an important function within the subsequent new release of multimedia structures. This ebook is a wonderful advent to contemporary growth within the improvement and alertness of glass with designated photonics homes. The authors, eminent jap scientists, completely clarify the basics of glass fabrics within the first bankruptcy, after which continue to debate gradient index glass, laser glasses, nonlinear optical glasses, and magneto-optical glasses. along with in-depth remedy of easy idea, Yamane and Asahara describe real difficulties, functionality, and purposes of glasses. Their paintings might be of worth to graduate scholars, researchers, engineers in fabrics technology, chemistry, and physics attracted to photonics and glass with exact homes.

  • Graphite, graphene, and their polymer nanocomposites by Prithu Mukhopadhyay, Rakesh K. Gupta

    By Prithu Mukhopadhyay, Rakesh K. Gupta

    "Perhaps the 1st of its style, this e-book covers physics, chemistry, and functions of graphene proper to this significant and sizzling examine subject. protecting the full spectrum of graphene-based fabrics issues, from synthesis to characterization to functions, this cutting-edge e-book presents the purpose of departure for destiny polymer-based nanocomposites examine. The bankruptcy authors, drawn from specialists from

    "Here we cross back. After intercalated compounds of graphite (1974), fullerenes (1985), and carbon nanotubes (1991), it's time for one more allotrope of elemental carbon to be on the leading edge of clinical interest. The allotrope is: "graphene". through graphene, we suggest the basal aircraft of graphite, a one atom thick dimensional honeycomb layer of sp2 bonded carbon. Conversely, while many graphene layers are stacked frequently in 3 dimensions, graphite is created"--Provided by means of publisher. Read more...

  • Introduction to surface engineering and functionally by Peter M Martin; Wiley InterScience (Online service)

    By Peter M Martin; Wiley InterScience (Online service)

    This booklet presents a transparent and comprehensible textual content for clients and builders of complex engineered fabrics, quite within the quarter of skinny motion pictures, and addresses basics of enhancing the optical, electric, photo-electric, triboligical, and corrosion resistance of stable surfaces and including performance to solids by means of engineering their floor, constitution, and digital, magnetic and optical constitution. skinny movie functions are emphasised. during the inclusion of a number of transparent examples of the applied sciences, how you can use them,and the synthesis techniques concerned, the reader will achieve a deep figuring out of the aim, objectives, and method of floor engineering and engineered materials.

    Virtually each enhance in skinny movie, power, scientific, tribological fabrics applied sciences has resulted from floor engineering and engineered fabrics. floor engineering comprises buildings and compositions no longer chanced on obviously in solids and is used to switch the skin houses of solids and comprises program of skinny movie coatings, floor functionalization and activation, and plasma therapy. Engineered fabrics are the way forward for skinny movie expertise. Engineered buildings reminiscent of superlattices, nanolaminates, nanotubes, nanocomposites, clever fabrics, photonic bandgap fabrics, metamaterials, molecularly doped polymers and dependent fabrics all be capable to extend and raise the performance of skinny motion pictures and coatings utilized in quite a few functions and supply new purposes. New complex deposition methods and hybrid procedures are getting used and constructed to deposit complicated skinny movie fabrics and buildings impossible with traditional options a decade in the past. houses can now be engineered into skinny motion pictures that in attaining functionality impossible a decade in the past
