This book highlights how the properties and structure of materials
are affected by dynamic high pressures generated by explosions,
projectile impacts, laser compression, electric discharge or ball
milling. Starting with the basics of shock-wave physics and an
outline of experimental techniques, it then surveys dynamic
compressibility and equations of state of various substances, phase
transitions and syntheses of novel compounds under shock. It covers
various industrial applications including hardening of metals and
grinding (fragmentation) of solids, saturation of solids with
defects for use as catalysts, production of superhard materials
(synthetic diamond, BN (boron nitride)) and nanomaterials,
especially nanodiamond, and discusses state-of-the-art techniques
such as combining dynamic and static compression to obtain
monolithic materials.
