This book was released on 1994 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents a record of the proceedings of the Symposium on Materials for Smart Systems which was held in conjunction with the 1994 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. The Symposium revolved primarily around the use of ferroelectrics, magnetostrictive materials, and shape memory materials in the design of compact sensors and actuators. Productive joint sessions were also held in the areas of ferroelectric films-based transducers and chemical sensors. Ninety-six oral presentations were scheduled over the course of three days, including twelve in a joint session with the Symposium on Ferroelectric Thin Films IV, and ten with the Symposium on Chemical Perspectives of Microelectronics Materials. In addition, 35 poster presentations were scheduled during one of the lively evening poster sessions. Of the seventy-three papers in this volume, twenty-five (or roughly 35%) came from outside the U.S. In the ferroelectric sections that follow, innovative work on new antiferroelectric- based actuators, SAW-based actuators and ferroelectric composites is presented. In addition, fundamental studies on the behavior of well-established piezoelectric compositions under severe mechanical or electrical drive conditions are discussed. Several papers highlight the incorporation of ferroelectric actuators into commercial products, including gyroscopes, actively damped automobile suspensions, and medical diagnostic equipment. jg p.11.

Download or read book Dynamics in Small Confining Systems Volume 366 written by J. M. Drake and published by . This book was released on 1995-06-02 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interfacial science has rapidly expanded beyond the original realm of chemistry to include physics, mechanical and chemical engineering, biology, materials science, and other specialized sub-fields. All of these scientific disciplines come together in this book to share viewpoints and bridge gaps among the different approaches and methods presented. Discussions focus on how ultrasmall geometries can force a system to behave in ways significantly different than it behaves in bulk, how this difference affects molecular properties, and how it is probed. Topics include: probing confined systems; structure and dynamics of thin films; nanorheology; diffusion in porous systems; adsorption and phase transitions; and reaction dynamics.
Download or read book Ceramic Matrix Composites Volume 365 written by Richard A. Lowden and published by . This book was released on 1995-08-10 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Materials that possess low-weight, high-temperature strength and stability in corrosive environments are required for many advanced applications. Among competing materials, ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are the leading candidates. As with all composite systems, ceramic composites are composed of two of more constituents that must maintain identity and properties in the final structure. In fact, it is the combination of constituent properties that produces the desired mechanical response in these advanced structural materials. This book from MRS focuses on ceramic matrix composites, and offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the many unique challenges in design, processing, characterization and testing that they present. Topics include: reinforcements and matrices; matrix materials and processing; composite processing and properties; testing and design; modeling of interfacial behavior; interface test methodologies; chemical vapor infiltration; experimental verification of interface behavior; modification and control of interface properties; and environmental effects.

Download or read book Materials for Optical Limiting Volume 374 written by Robert Crane and published by . This book was released on 1995-11-20 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of lasers has made possible a number of optical-based systems and applications such as the compact disc (CD), laser printers, fiber optic communications, laser surgical instruments, etc. Unfortunately, while lasers permit these diverse applications, safety concerns must be addressed. A solution being pursued is the development of optical limiter materials that transmit at low intensities while changing their optical characteristics, e.g. absorption or index of refraction, when exposed to the laser's higher irradiances. Topics covered in this book relate directly to the computational design and synthesis of new optical molecules. Research on the design of limiter devices is also featured. Materials addressed include liquid crystals, organic polymers, organic dyes, C60, colloidal arrays and suspensions, transition metal oxides, semiconductors and photorefractive oxides. Topics include: modelling and solid state optical limiters; thin film and solid state optical limiters; saturable and reverse-saturable absorbers; liquid optical limiters and liquid crystalline and other optical limiters.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wafer cleaning, microcontamination and surface passivation are the key focus of this proceedings volume, the 3rd in a successful series from MRS. It is a field in which control of surface chemistry and surface morphology, as well as particle and molecular contamination removal, are of critical importance. This volume expands the scope of the topic to include ultraclean technology in a broader sense, emphasizing the identification and characterization of trace contamination, strategies for removal, and equipment considerations, as well as critical limits for impact on devices. Novel processes, such as chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), and their ramifications for contamination removal are also addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymer/inorganic interfaces play a fundamental role in a wide range of applications, yet understanding of the fundamental interactions between polymers and inorganic phases, and how they affect the strength and durability of the interface, is still in its infancy. This proceedings volume addresses various aspects of polymer/inorganic interfaces, including surface preparation and treatment, characterization and interface performance. In addition, applications where the interface and its properties play a significant role, such as in biointerfaces, microelectronics, polymer composites and interpenetrating polymer networks, are discussed. Contributions to the volume examine various inorganic material/polymer interfaces with an emphasis on composites, epoxy resins, polyurethanes, poly(methyl methacrylate), polysiloxanes and various hydrophilic polymers. These are arranged in seven units that identify major research efforts in specific fields. They include: experimental probes of interfaces; biointeractions and biointerfaces; adhesion and interface durability; interface characterization; primers for interface preparation; interfaces and composites and surface preparation.
