Mechanochemistry of Solid Surfaces

"Mechanochemistry of Solid Surfaces" covers the fundamental relationships between solid surface chemical reactivity and stressed state of surface layer, found mainly by the author. Acceleration of chemical reactions by mechanical action (mechanochemical effect) and near-surface plasticity increases due to chemical reactions (chemomechanical effect) acting simultaneously, opening new possibilities for the control of a wide range of processes, from corrosion to new materials engineering. This monograph should be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students engaged in surface phenomena in materials science, chemistry and chemical engineering, as well as for scientists and engineers in the industries where these phenomena are important.
