As more advanced materials find their way into daily life, a better
understanding of degradation processes is required, allowing us to
more accurately predict their lifetime and further increase their
performance, reliability. While degradation processes are initiated
at molecular (subnanometer) scale, the nanostructure and
nanoconfinement of materials alter the degradation processes
occurring in materials at micron or larger scales, and eventually
trigger new degradation routes. This book studies the effect of
nanometer-scale structure and confinement on degradation processes
and analyzes the experimental and theoretical approaches used to
estimate the lifetime of nanostructured and nanoconfined materials
in various environments. Various topics are addressed - from
electronic, optical, structural, and magnetic nanomaterials to
space, chemical, biological and medical applications. There is also
an emphasis on the time dependence associated with artificial
treatments involving electrical currents, annealing, and
irradiation by various sources, such as gamma radiation and ions.
