Defect Structure and Properties of NanomaterialsSecond and Extended Edition\nAuthor(s): J Gubicza\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: Woodhead Publishing Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780081019177, 978-0081019177\nSynopsis\nDefect Structure and Properties of Nanomaterials: Second and Extended Edition covers a wide range of nanomaterials including metals, alloys, ceramics, diamond, carbon nanotubes, and their composites. This new edition is fully revised and updated, covering important advances that have taken place in recent years. Nanostructured materials exhibit unique mechanical and physical properties compared with their coarse-grained counterparts, therefore these materials are currently a major focus in materials science. The production methods of nanomaterials affect the lattice defect structure (vacancies, dislocations, disclinations, stacking faults, twins, and grain boundaries) that has a major influence on their mechanical and physic.
