Future advancements in MEMS, aerospace applications, information
storage, biotechnology and many other fields will require extensive
use of engineered surfaces and interfaces. While many surface
modification processes are available today, the application of
these processes, as well as an understanding of their limitations,
will require a fundamental knowledge of a broad spectrum of
processing and properties issues. New experimental techniques show
promise in helping to advance the technology of engineered
surfaces. This book covers a range of topics related to surface
engineering, surface modification and surface mechanics and
reflects the interactions of researchers from many fields whose
goal it is to enhance performance of engineered components and
devices. Topics include: the effects of coating nanostructure on
hardness; new developments in super-low friction coatings; control
of stresses during surface modification; modification of surfaces
and coatings using ion beams and lasers; and new methods for
synthesizing and characterizing engineered surfaces and coatings.
Topics on CO2 sequestration and reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions from process engineering and materials for clean energy
are covered. Papers addressing sustainable technologies in
extractive metallurgy, materials processing and manufacturing
industries with reduced energy consumption and CO2 emission are
also included, as well as industrial energy efficient technologies
including innovative ore beneficiation, smelting technologies,
recycling and waste heat recovery. The book also carries
contributions from all areas of non-nuclear and non-traditional
energy sources, including renewable energy sources such as solar,
wind, biomass, etc. The book also emphasizes novel mineral
beneficiation, processing, and extraction techniques leading to
waste minimization of critical rare-earth materials used in energy
systems (e.g., magnets, display and lighting devices). Papers from
the following symposia are presented in the book: Energy
Technologies and Carbon Dioxide Management High-temperature Systems
for Energy Conversion and Storage
