Mechanical engineering and materials

A one-stop, practical handbook containing all of the current commercial non-halogenated flame retardant technologies as well as experimental systems near commercialization In response to the emphasis on replacing halogenated flame retardants with alternate technologies, this handbook focuses on existing non-halogenated flame retardants and the experimental close-to-production systems that are available today.

New second edition of the popular book on deposition (first edition by Klaus Schruegraf) for engineers, technicians, and plant personnel in the semiconductor and related industries.

New Product Development is one of the most important challenges facing organizations today.

The Master Quality Manager (TM) (MQM) credential is a professional certification that demonstrates the attainment of a defined level of technical knowledge in quality assurance, quality management, professional practice, and ethical behavior.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely adopted in the military world over the last decade and the success of these military applications is increasingly driving efforts to establish unmanned aircraft in non-military roles.

This book provides insights into modern grinding technology based on wide research and experience.

No book has been published that gives a detailed description of all the types of plastic materials used in medical devices, the unique requirements that the materials need to comply with and the ways standard plastics can be modified to meet such needs.

This is the first single-volume handbook with the information a researcher needs to select the best rheology modifiers for his/her project.

Now in its second edition, Sustainable Materials shows how we can greatly reduce the amount of material demanded and used in manufacturing, while still meeting everyone's needs.

This book was written with several objectives in mind: 1.

In this volume, the editor and contributors describe the use of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for a range of key materials systems that are of interest for both technological and fundamental reasons.

A unified overview of the dynamical properties of water and its unique and diverse role in biological and chemical processes.

This book contains analysis of reasons that cause products to fail.

In the food, personal care products, and over-the-counter pharmaceutical industries, packaging provides safety, freshness and visual appeal for point of sale awareness.

Now in its second edition, Sustainable Materials shows how we can greatly reduce the amount of material demanded and used in manufacturing, while still meeting everyone's needs.

Although supercritial fluid (SCF) technology is now widely used in extraction and purification processes (in the petrochemical, food and pharmaceuticals industries), this book is the first to address the new application of cleaning.

Plastics for Engineers: An Introductory Course focuses on the nature, engineering properties, and applications of plastics.

This book presents the physical principles of wave propagation in fluid mechanics and hydraulics.

A unique perspective of twentieth century research and development in materials science.

Turn to this new second edition for an understanding of the latest advances in the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process.

This book covers all aspects of physical vapor deposition (PVD) process technology from the characterizing and preparing the substrate material, through deposition processing and film characterization, to post-deposition processing.

This new book from William Andrew Publishing is the only practical reference available for anyone employing the roll-to-roll deposition process.
