MXenes From Discovery to Applications of Two-Dimensional Metal Carbides and Nitrides Since their discovery in 2011 MXenes (2D carbides nitrides and carbonitrides of early transition metals) have developed into one of the largest and most intensively studied families of 2D materials. They offer unique properties and are being explored in a large variety of applications. This book compiles the most important research from a pioneer of the field Professor Yury Gogotsi and his interdisciplinary research team as well as numerous collaborators worldwide. It reports on the discovery and rise of MXenes and describes their synthesis and processing properties and incorporation into polymer ceramic and metal matrices to produce composites. It also discusses the potential of MXenes for use in energy storage optics electronics and sensing as well as biomedical environmental and electrocatalysis applications. The book will appeal to anyone interested in nanomaterials and their synthesis properties and applications. | MXenes From Discovery to Applications of Two-Dimensional Metal Carbides and Nitrides GBP 385.00 1
Characterization of Nanocomposites Technology and Industrial Applications These days advanced multiscale hybrid materials are being produced in the industry studied by universities and used in several applications. Unlike for macromaterials it is difficult to obtain the physical mechanical electrical and thermal properties of nanomaterials because of the scale. Designers however must have knowledge of these properties to perform any finite element analysis or durability and damage tolerance analysis. This is the book that brings this knowledge within easy reach. What makes the book unique is the fact that its approach that combines multiscale multiphysics and statistical analysis with multiscale progressive failure analysis. The combination gives a very powerful tool for minimizing tests improving accuracy and understanding the effect of the statistical nature of materials in addition to the mechanics of advanced multiscale materials all the way to failure. The book focuses on obtaining valid mechanical properties of nanocomposite materials by accurate prediction and observed physical tests as well as by evaluation of test anomalies of advanced multiscale nanocomposites containing nanoparticles of different shapes such as chopped fiber spherical and platelet in polymeric ceramic and metallic materials. The prediction capability covers delamination fracture toughness impact resistance conductivity and fire resistance of nanocomposites. The methodology employs a high-fidelity procedure backed with comparison of predictions with test data for various types of static fatigue dynamic and crack growth problems. Using the proposed approach a good correlation between the simulation and experimental data is established. | Characterization of Nanocomposites Technology and Industrial Applications GBP 193.00 1
