Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2nd International Conference on Advanced Materials and Engineering Materials (ICAMEM 2012)16th -17th December, 2012, Beijing / 29th-30th ,December,2012, Shanghai
Provides a thorough explanation of the basic properties of materials; of how these can be controlled by processing; of how materials are formed, joined and finished; and of the chain of reasoning that leads to a successful choice of material for a particular application. The materials covered are grouped into four classes: metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. Each class is studied in turn, identifying the families of materials in the class, the microstructural features, the processes or treatments used to obtain a particular structure and their design applications. The text is supplemented by practical case studies and example problems with answers, and a valuable programmed learning course on phase diagrams.

Easy to read and understand, it teaches the beginning engineer what to look for in a particular
This work comprises selected papers from the 2nd International Conference on Advanced Engineering Materials and Technology (AEMT 2012) which was held on the 15th to 17th June 2012 in Zhuhai, China. The peer-reviewed papers are grouped into fourteen chapters: Composites; Micro/Nano Materials; Iron and Steel; Ceramics; Metal Alloy Materials; Biomaterials; Elastomers and Polymers; Optical/Electronic/Magnetic Materials; New Functional Materials; Building Materials; New Energy Materials; Environmental Friendly Materials; Structural Materials and Biomaterials; Chemical Materials.
Carbon materials are exceptionally diverse in their preparation, structure, texture, and applications. In Advanced Materials Science and Engineering of Carbon, noted carbon scientist Michio Inagaki and his coauthors cover the most recent advances in carbon materials, including new techniques and processes, carbon materials synthesis, and up-to-date descriptions of current carbon-based materials, trends and applications. Beginning with the synthesis and preparation of nanocarbons, carbon nanotubes, and graphenes, the book then reviews recently developed carbonization techniques, such as templating, electrospinning, foaming, stress graphitization, and the formation of glass-like carbon. The last third of the book is devoted to applications, featuring coverage of carbon materials for energy storage, electrochemical capacitors, lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, and adsorptive storage of hydrogen and methane for environmental protection, photocatalysis, spilled oil recovery, and nuclear applications of isotropic high-density graphite.
This book is a collection of papers that are devoted to various aspects of interactions between mineralogy and material sciences. It will include reviews, perspective papers and original research papers on mineral nanostructures, biomineralization, micro- and nanoporous mineral phases as functional materials, physical and optical properties of minerals, etc. Many important materials that dominate modern technological development were known to mineralogists for hundreds of years, though their properties were not fully recognized. Mineralogy, on the other hand, needs new impacts for the further development in the line of modern scientific achievements such as bio- and nanotechnologies as well as by the understanding of a deep role that information plays in the formation of natural structures and definition of natural processes. It is the idea of this series of books to provide an arena for interdisciplinary discussion on minerals as advanced materials.
Advanced Materials gives an unique insight into the specialized materials that are required to run our modern society. Provided within are the fundamental theories and applications of advanced materials for metals, glasses, polymers, composites, and nanomaterials. This book is ideal for scientists and engineers of materials science, chemistry, physics, and engineering, and students of these disciplines.
