Composite materials make their way into all aspects of modern technological society, but particularly so for applications requiring great strength and light weight such as in the aerospace industry. Because they are hybrid heterogeneous materials, they can be difficult to charac…

Development of new materials is becoming increasingly difficult, both because of increased environmental concerns and because the number of useful materials made from simple components is limited. We are thus motivated to focus our attention on the improved use of existing mater…
Catalytic materials are essential to nearly every commercial and industrial chemical process in order to make reaction times faster and more efficient. Understanding the microstructure of such materials is essential to designing improved catalytic properties. This volume in the …

Heterogeneous catalysis has undergone a revolutionary change in the past two decades due to the development of sophisticated characterization methods that provide fundamental information about the catalyst bulk structures, surfaces, and their properties. For the first time, thes…

Ceramics are, in a general definition, materials that consist of man-made, inorganic, non-metallic solid material--either existing in a crystalline state or non-crystalline state (i.e., glasses). Materials characterization techniques are used to ensure the structural and surface…
