Materials Characterization TechniquesAuthor(s): Sam Zhang, Lin Li, Ashok Kumar\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Inc, United States\nImprint: CRC Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9781420042948, 978-1420042948\nSynopsis\nExperts must be able to analyze and distinguish all materials, or combinations of materials, in use todaywhether they be metals, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, or composites. To understand a materials structure, how that structure determines its properties, and how that material will subsequently work in technological applications, researchers apply basic principles of chemistry, physics, and biology to address its scientific fundamentals, as well as how it is processed and engineered for use. \n\nEmphasizing practical applications and real-world case studies, Materials Characterization Techniques presents the principles of widely used, advanced surface and structural characterization techniques for quality assurance, contamination control, and process improv.
