Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book explores the relationships between defect structures and properties of nanomaterials, allowing readers to learn more about the effects of lattice defects in nanomaterials.

• Provides a detailed overview of processing methods, defect structure and defect-related mechanical and physical properties of nanomaterials.
• New chapters cover recent advances in both processing techniques and methods for the study of lattice defects.
• Provides valuable information that will help materials scientists and engineers to highlight lattice defects and the related mechanical and physical properties.

Nanostructured materials exhibit unique mechanical and physical properties; production methods of nanomaterials affect the lattice defect structure and affect these properties.
In this book, the production routes of nanomaterials are described in detail: the relationships between the processing conditions and the resulted defect structure as well as the defect-related properties (e.g. mechanical behavior, electrical resistance, diffusion, thermal stability, hydrogen storage capability etc.) are reviewed.

Defect Structure and Properties of Nanomaterials covers a wide range of nanomaterials including metals, alloys, ceramics, diamond, carbon nanotubes and their composites. This new edition includes new processing methods of nanomaterials, described chapters dealing with the manufacturing procedures of nanostructured materials.

New chapters on (i) the experimental methods for the study of lattice defects, (ii) the defect structure in nanodisperse particles and nanocrystalline thin films, and (iii) the influence of lattice defects on electrical and diffusion properties are included, to further enhance what has become a leading reference for engineering, physics and materials science audiences.
