Materials and Design (PDF)

The papers in this volume were subjected to peer and expert reviews, and cover the subjects of composites, micro-/nano-materials, iron and steel, ceramics, metallic alloy materials, biomaterials, high-performance elastomers and polymers, materials physics, materials chemistry, optical/electronic/magnetic materials and other related topics. The work offers valuable up-to-date coverage of the topics.Peer-reviewed papers from a July 2011 conference are collected in this three-volume set. The papers reflect current research in areas such as composites, micro/nano materials, iron and steel, metal alloy materials, high-performance elastomers and polymers, biomaterials, and optical, electronic, and magnetic materials. Other papers look at advances in materials physics and materials chemistry in general. Some specific chapter subjects include a numerical approach for the simulation of cementitious materials, a microemulsion system for transdermal delivery of matrine, and residual stresses in locally long fiber reinforces aluminum parts. Other areas examined are tribological properties of a triazine derivative in rapeseed oil, a spontaneous oxidation route to Se/Te alloy nanorods at room temperature, effects of conventional cold rolling on wear-resisting performance of high manganese steel, and alumina gel casting using a glutin-urea system.
