(Advanced Material Series) 1st Edition
by Ashutosh Tiwari (Editor), Rui Wang (Editor), Bingqing Wei (Editor)
Advanced surfaces enriches the high-throughput engineering of
physical and chemical phenomenon in relatin to electrical, magnetic,
electronics, thermal and optical controls, as well as large surface
areas, protective coatings against water loss and excessive gas
exchange. A more sophisticated example could be a highly selective
surface permeability allowing passive diffusion and selective transport
of molecules in the water or gases. The smart surface technology
provides an interlayer model which prevents the entry of substances
without affecting the properties of neighboring layers. A number of
methods have been developed for coatings, which are essential building
blocks for the top-down and/or bottom-up design of numerous functional
materials. Advanced Surface Engineering Materials offers a
detailed up-to-date review chapters on the functional coatings and
adhesives, engineering of nanosurfaces, high-tech surface,
characterization and new applications.
The 13 chapters in this
book are divided into 3 parts (Functional coatings and adhesives;
Engineering of nanosurfaces; High-tech surface, characterization and new
applications) and are all written by worldwide subject matter
specialists.
The book is written for readers from diverse backgrounds across chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, medical science, environmental, bio- and nano- technologies and biomedical engineering. It offers a comprehensive view of cutting-edge research on surface engineering materials and their technological importance.
