New Materials, Processes, and Methods Technology

There has been a great deal of progress in the development of materials, their application to structures, and their adaptation to a variety of systems. New Materials, Processes, and Methods Technology presents an update of existing materials and processes as well as new materials that have been invented or changed by innovative techniques. It includes a detailed overview of recent research, newly-developed and currently-used fabrication methods, and developmental processes. Each section covers a material or material-family and the techniques required for practical applications. This book is an invaluable resource for students, practicing engineers, specialists, and those new to the field.
