Chinese Outbound Tourism 2.0

Chinese Outbound Tourism 2.0

Booming Mainland Chinese outbound travel is one of the most exciting phenomena in the world tourism industry’s recent history. From 2000 to 2010 Chinese outbound travel increased at a compounded annual rate of 18. 5 percent and it is forecasted that by 2020 China will generate approximately 100 million outbound trips a year making China the fourth largest source of outbound travel in the world. The new Chinese tourists are more confident technologically savvy value conscious and ready to explore unfamiliar territory. For tourism marketers and researchers who are getting ready to or just celebrated their initial west-meets-east moments the new Chinese tourists are showing up at their doors and presenting new challenges for marketing and service. In this book leading authors from around the world share their most cutting-edge findings and thoughts on the Chinese outbound travel market. The book reflects on the paths of the Chinese outbound travel development reports new trends and issues and provides new insights and recommendations. For practitioners around the world (e. g. destination policymakers and marketers travel and tourism service providers owners and managers) this book provides hands-on guidance on understanding tourists from Mainland China. For tourism scholars educators and students this book provides basic yet essential knowledge on the Chinese outbound travel market and tourist behavior and points out important future directions. Most tourism programs today have an international component in their curriculum usually including a global tourism class. This book serves as an excellent supplemental reading for students in these classes. | Chinese Outbound Tourism 2. 0

Elastomer-Based Composite Materials Mechanical Dynamic and Microwave Properties and Engineering Applications

Elastomer-Based Composite Materials Mechanical Dynamic and Microwave Properties and Engineering Applications

Elastomer-Based Composite Materials: Mechanical Dynamic and Microwave Properties and Engineering Applications is focused on elastomer-based composite materials comprising different types of reinforcing fillers. The book provides an informative examination of the possibilities for broadening the engineering applications of elastomer composites through using various types of hybrid fillers ferrites and ceramics and also examines their synthesis and characterization. It discusses new hybrid fillers that have been synthesized by different techniques e. g. impregnation of different substrates (carbon black conductive carbon black activated carbons etc. ) with silica or magnetite. These new fillers have been thoroughly characterized by standard techniques and by up-to-date methods such as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM-EDX) atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The effect of those fillers upon the curing properties mechanical and dynamic parameters electrical conductivity and dielectric and microwave characteristics of elastomer-based composites is discussed in detail in this volume. The book also covers the influence of various types of ceramics (SiC B4C and TiB2) and barium and strontium hexaferrites upon the aforementioned properties of rubber composites in conjunction with a view toward solutions for environmental problems caused by waste tires. The book shows that pyrolysis-cum-water vapor is a suitable and environmentally friendly method for the conversion of the waste green tires into useful carbon-silica hybrid fillers. The properties of elastomer-based composites comprising different types of nanostructures (fullerenes carbon nanotubes graphene nanoplatelets) modified activated carbons and calcined kaolin are also discussed. Special attention is paid to composites with lower levels of zinc oxide. The volume provides an abundance of knowledge on the detailed characterization of these fillers and on the curing mechanical dynamic mechanical and dielectric and microwave properties of the elastomeric composites. The book surveys the most recent research activities of the authors which will make it a vital reference source for scientists in both the academic and industrial sectors as well as for individuals who are interested in rubber materials. It will be very useful for students especially PhD students scientists lecturers and engineers working or doing research in the field of polymer materials science elastomer-based composites and nanocomposites and their engineering applications in the production of microwave absorbers and electromagnetic waves shielding materials materials for electronics devices and telecommunications. | Elastomer-Based Composite Materials Mechanical Dynamic and Microwave Properties and Engineering Applications
