The increasing level of pollution in the environment not only harms the natural world, but also accelerates the deterioration and corrosion of materials used in technical work, as well as objects with historical or artistic value. It is impossible to eliminate the numerous sourc…
Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology explains nanotechnology to an audience that does not necessarily have a scientific background. It covers all aspects, including the new areas of biomedical applications and the use of nanotechnology to probe the "quantum vacuum." Af…
Dynamic Behavior of Materials, Volume 1: Proceedings of the 2010 Annual Conference on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the first volume of six from the Conference, brings together 71 contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents ear…

Nanofibres are defined as fibres with diameters on the order of 100 nanometres. They can be produced by interfacial polymerisation and electrospinning. Nanofibres are included in garments, insulation and in energy storage. They are also used in medical applications, which includ…
"The rise of collaborative consumption, peer-to-peer systems, and not-for-profit social enterprise heralds the emergence of a new era of human collectivity. Increasingly, this consolidation stems from an understanding that big-banner issues such as climate change are not the roo…
Dealing with vibrations and waves, this text aims to provide understanding of the basic principles and methods of analysing various physical phenomena. The content includes the general properties of propagation, a detailed study of mechanical (elastic and acoustic) and electroma…
Approaches metamaterials using physics principles and discusses microwave applications. This title provides a presentation of the theory, design, and applications of metamaterials with an emphasis on split ring resonators (SRRs).
Research Progress in Nano and Intelligent Materials presents a broad selection of chapters on leading-edge research from top international researchers on various applications of nano and intelligent materials. The collection of topics in this book aims to reflect the diversity o…
"Solid-state NMR is an extraordinarily powerful method that is widely applied in materials chemistry and is constantly being developed through application of new techniques and approaches. As the most exciting direction of modem materials science, the controlled design of new ma…
Nanotechnology has attracted billions of venture capital from research institutes, governments, and industries in recent years. Traditional nanofabrication techniques, such as CVD, sol-gel, and self-assembly, have been intensively studied. However, the electrochemical nanofabric…
Nanomaterials are the study of how materials behave when their dimensions are reduced to the nanoscale. It can also refer to the materials themselves that are used in nanotechnology. Materials reduced to the nanoscale can suddenly show very different properties compared to what …
