Advanced Materials XI

The main theme of this special volume encompasses the major technological advances of recent times, especially with respect to the significance of advanced materials and the associated technology.

Young scientists, researchers and engineers working in almost any area of advanced materials science would benefit from reading this special volume.Selected peer-reviewed papers from an August 2009 symposium present the latest work in materials science, for researchers, scientists, and engineers.

Some topics include electrochemical nanostructuring of semiconductors by the capillary-cell method, inkjet printing of catalyst-inks on Si wafers, diffusion bonding of austenitic stainless steel 316L to a magnesium alloy, and transient liquid phase bonding of high-strength low-alloy steel coiled tubing.

Other subjects are the role of combustion energy in laser cutting of austenitic stainless steel, structural and texture studies of PbS thin film, elastic and plastic properties of soda lime glass by micro-indentation, and a novel fabrication method for nitinol shape memory alloys.

The book includes b&w images.
