This book was released on 2004-08-08 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diamond, as well as being a precious gem, is a versatile material par excellence. No other material comes anywhere near to matching its properties, which are both extreme, and also expressed in rare combinations. However, natural diamonds, and those synthesised under high sandpressure temperatures, are too expensive or small for many technological applications. These limitations can be overcome by using large-area diamond coatings; chemically bonded to inexpensive non-diamond surfaces. The consequent economic advantages provide the driving force for much diamond-related research and technology.

Download or read book Diamond Thin Films written by John I. B. Wilson and published by Wiley-VCH. This book was released on 1996-07-09 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now over thirty years since a method was first described for the pyrolysis of hydrocarbons to form thin film diamond. We are now entering a new phase, in which potential applications of this unique material are driving improved understanding of diamond synthesis, better control of both phase purity and structural perfection, and engineering advances that will reduce the cost and increase the deposition rate. In this highly competitive area, researchers from many countries have contributed to our knowledge base, and there are several established international conferences concentrating on diamond thin films. This book brings together some of the key components in what is an exciting scientific and technical challenge: to establish diamond as an engineering material that will revolutionise operations in optics, mechanics and electronics. The sequence of papers in the book moves from fundamental studies of the deposition process, the surface structure of diamond and its stability, and the nucleation of diamond on a foreign substrate, through the current capacity for achieving epitaxial quality films, to the characterisation of diamond quality. The final section describes some of the variety of applications, and their requirements, that are being introduced to potential users.

Download or read book Wood written by Pentti O. Kettunen and published by Trans Tech Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the oldest construction materials is wood which, technically speaking, belongs to the group of polymer matrix composites; one which is conveniently and expertly produced by Nature. Due to its organic cell-type structure, the density of wood remains modest. Thus, as its strength and stiffness can - in certain cases - attain remarkable values, its levels of specific strength and stiffness (absolute strength or stiffness divided by density) can reach magnitudes which are competitive with those of other construction materials. It is demonstrated, for instance, that the specific strength of wood in the axial direction can exceed those of low-carbon steel and concrete. Its specific stiffness can also be comparable to those of aluminum alloys and low-carbon steels, and is better than that of concrete. In constructional design, especially in the dimensioning of supports, the values of specific strength and stiffness are of utmost importance.
