Download or read book Wood Adhesives written by Antonio Pizzi and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-01-07 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wood adhesives are of tremendous industrial importance, as more than two-thirds of wood products in the world today are completely or partially bonded together using a variety of adhesives. Adhesive bonding offers many advantages over other joining methods for wood components, and there has been a great deal of R& D activity in devising new wood adhesives or improving the existing ones. The modern mantra in all industrial sectors is: "think green, go green," which has attracted much attention in the wood adhesive industry. Therefore, there is also a lot of research activity in synthesizing environmentally benign and human-friendly wood adhesives. This book is divided into four parts: Part 1: Fundamental Adhesion Aspects in Wood Bonding; Part 2: Synthetic Adhesives; Part 3: Environment-friendly adhesives; and Part 4: Wood Welding and General Paper. It addresses many different types of wood adhesives, as well as bonding (welding) of wood components without adhesives, a more recent development. The information contained in this book is valuable for individuals engaged in all aspects of wood adhesion and adhesives and, hopefully, will inspire new ideas in wood adhesives, a topic of vital industrial importance.

Download or read book Diamond Based Composites written by Mark A. Prelas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diamond-based composites, with their advantages of hardness, high Young's modulus and the like, have demonstrated new and unusual features, such as stability to high temperatures and pressure shocks and a large internal surface that can be controlled to offer customised electrical, magnetic and optical properties, leading to efficient filters, absorbents, sensors and other tools for environmental control and monitoring. The current book covers the synthesis of materials, their characterization and properties, trends in high pressure and high temperature technologies, low pressure technologies, basic principles of DBC material science, and future developments in electronics, optics, industrial tools and components, biotechnology, and medicine. Wide band-gap materials are considered, ranging from molecular clusters, nanophase materials, growth, processing and synthesis. The processing of composite based materials can be classified into six basic methods: in situ growth, high pressure/high temperature catalytic conversion; mix and sinter (c-BN plus metal-ceramic polymer mix); direct sintering; direct polymorphic conversion; shock detonation; and SHS sintering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les nanotechnologies apportent un fort potentiel d'innovation et de rupture dans de nombreux domaines. Leurs applications pour l'énergie en est un champ important, car la synthèse et la structuration des nanomatériaux y ouvrent des voies de progrès notables. Si divers ouvrages décrivent les innovations promises par les nanotechnologies sur des thématiques scientifiques générales ou spécialisées, très peu abordent le chemin qui va des nouvelles propriétés aux applications pour l'énergie électrique et ses usages. Cet ouvrage présente, sur des bases scientifiques solides, les apports des nanotechnologies et plus particulièrement des nanomatériaux aux enjeux de la production d’électricité et de ses usages. Après un panorama des effets physiques qui peuvent être exploités à ces échelles pour améliorer les propriétés des matériaux ou leur fonctionnalité, leur application à la production d'électricité, à son stockage, à ses usages ainsi qu'au traitement de questions environnementales est abordée. Elle conduit à explorer les domaines de l'électrochimie, du photovoltaïque, de la thermoélectricité, des propriétés mécaniques et thermiques des matériaux ou encore des membranes et des surfaces ultrahydrophobes. Chaque chapitre constitue une monographie exhaustive enrichie d'une abondante iconographie et d'une bibliographie très complète. Les meilleurs experts de chaque domaine ont été réunis, faisant de cet ouvrage une référence incontournable. Au confluent de plusieurs disciplines et en prise directe sur un vaste champ d'applications, ce livre s'adresse à un large public : ingénieurs et chercheurs, étudiants des écoles d'ingénieurs ou des universités aux niveaux licence et master.
