Reinforcement for polymer matrix composites may not grab headlines, but it is one of the most important applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This book highlights the areas in which fabrication has proven difficult as a result of CNT entanglement and poor interfacial interactions among the CNTs and polymers. The text outlines how to specifically functionalize CNTs and control their surface functionalities to enhance the interfacial interactions with polymer matrix.
With its numerous illustrations, this book provides a comprehensive survey of the fundamental processes occurring in the conception, spread, and extinguishment of a flame. Taking readers through the stages of combustion, the expert contributors visually display, mathematically explain, and clearly theorize on important physical topics of combustion, such as flammability limits, instability, and quenching. They examine modern and past understanding of fundamental combustion problems. An accompanying CDROM presents numerous color photographs which reveal various combustion phenomena.

Grain Boundary Migration in Metals Thermodynamics, Kinetics, Applications, Second Edition Gunter Gottstein, Lasar S. Shvindlerman
Based on the lecture notes of the renowned Hubert I. Aaronson, this text details the fundamental principles of phase transformations in metals and alloys upon which steel and other metals industries are based. Instead of relying strictly on a pedagogical approach, it documents the evolution of phase transformation concepts, demonstrating how the field continues to meet new challenges. The authors present topics by describing a phenomenon and then following up with a corresponding hypothesis or alternative explanation.
Grain boundary migration is key to materials microstructural processes such as recrystallization and is essential to the creation of new materials. While this importance is reflected in the literature, this is the first book to focus on the thermodynamics, kinetics, and applications of individual grain boundary migration in metals. This authoritative work contains a wealth of data focused on the experimental techniques in the study of single grain boundary motion and grain boundary systems with junctions and is the only one to discuss grain boundary junction motion. Worked problems are included throughout to help readers master the material.
