Process Techniques for Engineering High-Performance MaterialsAuthor(s): Tim Oberle\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781138434738, 978-1138434738\nSynopsis\nMost processed materials retain a memory of their production process at the molecular level. Subtle changes in productionsuch as variations in temperature or the presence of impurities can impart performance benefits or drawbacks to individual batches of products. Some product developers have taken advantage of this process dependency to tailor properties to specific customer needs. In other cases, poorly engineered processes have resulted in serious failures. Process Techniques for Engineering High-Performance Materials explores practical strategies to guide you in systematically developing, improving, and producing engineered materials. \nThe book describes an RandD approach that is common to many material types, from polymers, biochemicals, metal alloys, and c.
