Finish Manufacturing Processes are those final stage processing
techniques which are deployed to bring a product to readiness for
marketing and putting in service. Over recent decades a number of
finish manufacturing processes have been newly developed by
researchers and technologists. Many of these developments have been
reported and illustrated in existing literature in a piecemeal
manner or in relation only to specific applications. For the first
time, Comprehensive Materials Finishing, Three Volume Set
integrates a wide body of this knowledge and understanding into a
single, comprehensive work. Containing a mixture of review
articles, case studies and research findings resulting from R &
D activities in industrial and academic domains, this reference
work focuses on how some finish manufacturing processes are
advantageous for a broad range of technologies. These include
applicability, energy and technological costs as well as
practicability of implementation. The work covers a wide range of
materials such as ferrous, non-ferrous and polymeric materials.
There are three main distinct types of finishing processes: Surface
Treatment by which the properties of the material are modified
without generally changing the physical dimensions of the surface;
Finish Machining Processes by which a small layer of material is
removed from the surface by various machining processes to render
improved surface characteristics; and Surface Coating Processes by
which the surface properties are improved by adding fine layer(s)
of materials with superior surface characteristics. Each of these
primary finishing processes is presented in its own volume for ease
of use, making Comprehensive Materials Finishing an essential
reference source for researchers and professionals at all career
stages in academia and industry.
Encyclopedia of Materials: Plastics and Polymers, Four Volume Set
covers plastics and polymeric materials, including their
fundamental properties, current and potential future application
areas in various private, public, commercial and industrial
sectors, and their biodegradability, reusability and disposability.
As well as covering all aspects of the science and applications of
plastics and polymers, the book expounds on newer developments,
including up-to-date articles and knowledge. In addition, the
detrimental environmental effects of plastics and polymers are
included, along with expertly-written articles that shed light on
composites of macro, micro- and nano-particle sized plastic and
polymeric materials and biodegradable natural or synthetic
materials. This encyclopedia will be most valuable to researchers
working at the interface between materials science/chemistry and
materials engineering, as well as advanced undergraduates who need
to quickly understand a broad range of foundational concepts and
the developments that have taken place over time.
Encyclopedia of Renewable and Sustainable Materials, Five Volume
Set provides a comprehensive overview, covering research and
development on all aspects of renewable, recyclable and sustainable
materials. The use of renewable and sustainable materials in
building construction, the automotive sector, energy, textiles and
others can create markets for agricultural products and additional
revenue streams for farmers, as well as significantly reduce carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions, manufacturing energy requirements,
manufacturing costs and waste. This book provides researchers,
students and professionals in materials science and engineering
with tactics and information as they face increasingly complex
challenges around the development, selection and use of
construction and manufacturing materials.
Religious forces and authoritarian regime have collaborated
throughout history. If religion is about morality, ethics and high
human values, politics is generally about manipulation, lie and the
art of possible. Yet whenever unpopular, illegitimate regimes
needed support, the clergy extended help, rarely challenging the
regimes, thus strengthening clergy-ruling elite nexus. The ruling
regimes in both Pakistan and Malaysia have had strong nexus with
the religious groups viewing Islamic politics more as an
opportunity than a challenge. Pakistan and Malaysia provide us an
insight to understand that the use of religion can produce
different results in different types of regimes. In Pakistan,
military dictatorship used religion to gain legitimacy as well as
divert the attention of the people from real economic issues by
engaging them in issues like Muslim solidarity, in Malaysia,
Islamic principles were used to reform the Malaysian society with
equal importance to modernization but the policy also created
opponents among the liberal as well as the Muslim parties both
complaining about not having enough of any system.
