This book introduces the fundamentals of materials science and is intended to be used by undergraduate students in materials-related majors mainly in China.
This book is intended to give technological background and practical examples, but also to give general insight into the on-going technology development in the area of biodetection.
This book presents selected contributions to the Symposium of Aeronautical and Aerospace Processes, Materials and Industrial Applications of the XXV International Materials Research Congress (IMRC).
Those well-intending workers, especially theorists, who have viewed hungrily the mixed valence problem, but have not yet made the bold leap, might be comforted to learn that the Rochester conference left the virginal state of that problem essentially intact.
In this book new experimental investigations of properties of Josephson junctions and systems are explored with the help of recent developments in superconductivity.
Colloidal systems and dispersions are of great importance in oil recovery, waist water treatment, coating, food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical industry, medicine, environmental protection etc.
Amphiphilic polymer co-networks (APCNs) are a type of polymeric hydrogel, their hydrophobic polymer segments and hydrophilic components produce less aqueous swelling, giving better mechanical properties than conventional hydrogels.
