Böcker i Advanced Materials and Technologies-serien

Fluoroplastics are unique polymeric materials, which exhibit exceptional chemical inertness, resistance to elevated temperatures, resistance to ultraviolet radiation, excellent weather resistance, excellent dielectric properties, flame resistance, hydrophobicity, and most of them low coefficients of friction.

Polymers belong to an essential material group with many applications not only for polymer manufacturers but also in physics, chemistry, medicine and engineering techniques.

The volume contains metal forming data of 44 non-ferrous alloys of heavy metals, i.e. Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb, Nb, U, W, Sn, Zr, and noble metals. The mechanical and thermophysical properties of each alloy are given as well as its plasticity and flow curves. An introduction presents the fundamental terms and concepts of metal forming.

The book includes 11 new chapters, on topics such as graphene, biomedical applications, nanoceramics, 2D metal carbides and carbonitrides, and safety of nanomaterials. It continues its comprehensive approach covering fundamentals to applications and materials basics to tailored design, with 22 chapters authored by leading international experts.

This volume contains a valuable database of updated results in the field of hydrogen storage materials, based on an extended and selected reference list. Storing hydrogen in solids is widely thought to be one of the most promising solutions to the issue of safe, compact and affordable hydrogen storage for its use as energy carrier.

The three volumes VIII/3A, B, C of Energy Technologies should primarily serve scientists, engineers, and students to gain information on physical, chemical, and technical properties of all technologies to provide, convert, distribute, store, and finally use energy.

Polymers belong to an essential material group with many applications not only for polymer manufacturers but also in physics, chemistry, medicine and engineering techniques.

This book provides information on synthesis, properties, and applications of carbon nanomaterials. With novel materials, such as graphene (atomically flat carbon) or carbon onions (carbon nanospheres), the family of carbon nanomaterials is rapidly growing. This book provides a state-of-the-art overview and in-depth analysis of the most important carbon nanomaterials. Each chapter is written by a leading expert in the field which ensures that both, a review on the subject along with emerging perspectives are provided to the reader.

Polymers belong to an essential material group with many applications not only for polymer manufacturers but also in physics, chemistry, medicine and engineering techniques. This volume gives an introduction to the thermal properties and PVT-data of polymer solids and polymer melts.

The sub volumes A of volume VIII/6 form a series of data collections and handbooks covering properties of polymer solids and polymer melts.

The volume 'Medical Radiological Physics' is intended to provide the scientific basis of diagnostics and therapy in medical radiology.
