During September 24-26, 2001, the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands organised the Glare - the New Material for Aircraft Conference, an international conference on the relationship between design, material choice and application of aircraft materials with respect to new developments in industry.

Organized nanoassemblies of inorganic nanoparticles and organic molecules are building blocks of nanodevices, whether they are designed to perform molecular level computing, sense the environment or improve the catalytic properties of a material.

This book had its nucleus in some lectures given by one of us (J.

The technological progress is closely related to the developments of various materials and tools made of those materials.

Nanostructures refer to materials that have relevant dimensions on the nanometer length scales and reside in the mesoscopic regime between isolated atoms and molecules in bulk matter.

I am pleased to present a work which marks a milestone in the history of public works and, more precisely, in that of permanent structures-a comprehensive dictionary of Civil Engineering terms.

Composite structures and products have developed tremendously since the publication of the first edition of this work in 1986.

In this book, the fundamentals of magnetism are treated, starting at an introductory level.

The need for this book arose from my teaching, engineering, and - search experience in the non-power aspects of nuclear technology.

A new rapidly progressing field on the crossroads among chemistry, biochemistry, physics and technology - supramolecular chemistry - has just emerged.

Integrated Biomaterials Science provides an intriguing insight into the world of biomaterials.

Although in nature the vast majority of polymers are condensation polymers, much publicity has been focused on functionalized vinyl polymers.

"e;Electrocrystallization is a particular case of a first order phase transition"e; and "e;Electrocrystallization is a particular case of electrochemical kinetics"e; are two statements that I have heard and read many times.

In the decade since the introduction of the first commercial lithium-ion battery research and development on virtually every aspect of the chemistry and engineering of these systems has proceeded at unprecedented levels.

The 20th International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mech- ics, ICTAM 2000, took place August 27 - September 2, 2000, in the c- ference facilities of the Chicago Marriott Downtown on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

During the last decades, continuum mechanics of porous materials has achieved great attention, since it allows for the consideration of the volumetrically coupled behaviour of the solid matrix deformation and the pore-fluid flow.

The electron density of a non-degenerate ground state system determines essentially all physical properties of the system.
