Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites: Characterization, Processing, and
Applications discusses the most recent research in nanomaterials
and nanocomposites for a range of applications as well as modern
characterization tools and techniques. It deals with nanocomposites
that are dispersed with nanosized particulates and carbon nanotubes
in their matrices (polymer, metal, and ceramic). In addition, the
work: Describes different nanomaterials, such as metal and metal
oxides, clay and POSS, carbon nanotubes, cellulose, and biobased
polymers in a structured manner Examines the processing of carbon
nanotube-based nanocomposites, layered double hydroxides, and
cellulose nanoparticles as functional fillers and reinforcement
materials Covers size effect on thermal, mechanical, optical,
magnetic, and electrical properties Details machining and joining
aspects of nanocomposites Discusses the development of smart
nanotextiles (intelligent textiles), self-cleaning glass, sensors,
actuators, ferrofluids, and wear-resistant nanocoatings. This book
enables an efficient comparison of properties and capabilities of
these advanced materials, making it relevant for materials
scientists and chemical engineers conducting academic research and
industrial R&D into nanomaterial processing and applications.
This book discusses the radical technological changes occurring due
to Industry 4.0, with a focus on offering a better understanding of
the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It also presents a detailed
analysis of interdisciplinary knowledge, numerical modeling and
simulation, and the application of cyber-physical systems, where
information technology and physical devices create synergic systems
leading to unprecedented efficiency. The book focuses on industrial
applications of automation and robotics. It covers recent
developments and trends occurring in both computer-aided
manufacturing techniques, as well as computer-aided assembly
techniques. Robots using embedded systems and artificial
intelligence applications are also covered. Industrial Automation
and Robotics: Techniques and Applications offers theoretical
results, practical solutions, and guidelines that are valuable for
both researchers and those working in the area of engineering.
Hybrid composites have exceptional features due to superior
mechanical properties, fatigue/impact resistance, and balanced
thermal distortion stability. This book covers the latest
developments in the hybrid composite materials, processing,
characterization, and modeling of materials behaviour. While
covering the same, the book also provides insight on its
applications in medical science.
This book presents recent developments in the coating processes,
sub processes and emphasizes on processes with the potential to
improve performance quality and reproducibility. The book
demonstrates how application methods, environmental factors, and
chemical interactions affect each surface coating's performance. In
addition, it provides analysis of latest polymers, carbon resins,
high-temperature materials used for coatings and describes the
development, chemical and physical properties, synthesis,
polymerization, commercial uses and characteristics for each raw
material and coating. Characterization techniques to solve the
coating problems are also presented, as well as optimization
studies to identify the critical coating parameters to ensure a
robust process.

In the automotive industry, the need to reduce vehicle weight has
given rise to extensive research efforts to develop aluminum and
magnesium alloys for structural car body parts. In aerospace, the
move toward composite airframe structures urged an increased use of
formable titanium alloys. In steel research, there are ongoing
efforts to design novel damage-controlled forming processes for a
new generation of efficient and reliable lightweight steel
components. All these materials, and more, constitute today's
research mission for lightweight structures. They provide a fertile
materials science research field aiming to achieve a better
understanding of the interplay between industrial processing,
microstructure development, and the resulting material properties.
Advancements in the Processing, Characterization, and Application
of Lightweight Materials provides the recent advancements in the
lightweight mat materials processing, manufacturing, and
characterization. This book identifies the need for modern tools
and techniques for designing lightweight materials and addresses
multidisciplinary approaches for applying their use. Covering
topics such as numerical optimization, fatigue characterization,
and process evaluation, this text is an essential resource for
materials engineers, manufacturers, practitioners, engineers,
academicians, chief research officers, researchers, students, and
vice presidents of research in government, industry, and academia.
