Introduction to Surface Engineering and Functionally Engineered Materials

Product Description

This book provides a clear and understandable text for users and developers of advanced engineered materials, particularly in the area of thin films, and addresses fundamentals of modifying the optical, electrical, photo-electric, triboligical, and corrosion resistance of solid surfaces and adding functionality to solids by engineering their surface, structure, and electronic, magnetic and optical structure. Thin film applications are emphasized with clear examples, instruction on their use, and the synthesis processes involved. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the purpose, goals, and methodology of surface engineering and engineered materials. Peter Martin worked at Battelle, Paci…
