Description
Smart materials--materials and structures that can impartinformation about their environment to an observer or monitoringdevice--are revolutionizing fields as diverse as engineering,optics, and medical technology. Advances in smart materials areimpacting disciplines across the scientific and technologicallandscape.
Now, practictioners and researchers have an authoritative source togo to for answers about this emerging new area. Encyclopedia ofSmart Materials provides A-to-Z coverage of the entire field ofintelligent materials. Discussions of theory, fabrication,processing, applications, and uses of these unique materials arepresented here in a collection of concise entries from the world'sforemost experts in the field--including scientists, educators andengineers.
This encyclopedia is as broad in scope as the technology itself,addressing daily, commercial applications as well as sophisticatedunits designed to operate in space, underwater, underground, andwithin the human body. Extensively cross-referenced and generouslysupplemented with bibliographies and indexes, this book's treatmentalso broaches the specialized properties and coatings that arerequired for the use of materials in extreme conditions.
Illustrated with photographs, tables, line drawings, and equations,Encyclopedia of Smart Materials is the premier reference formaterial scientists, chemists, chemical engineers, processengineers, consultants, patent attorneys and students in theseareas. An essential resource on the shelves of laboratories,government facilities, and academic libraries.
Editor-in-Chief, Mel Schwartz has over forty years of experiencewith metals, ceramics, and composites, with special expertise inbrazing. The holder of five patents, he has authored thirteen booksand more than one hundred technical papers and articles.
