Описание: This guide reviews the way asphalt mixture can be specified, with particular emphasis on the test methods used to measure performance. The advantages and limitations of the tests are described for measuring the desired property, and engineers can specify a test according to the material’s use. The book starts with a resume of specifications and their relative advantages and disadvantages for different situations. Then different properties are discussed in terms of: their specification; the test methods that can be used (primarily the EN 12697 suite of European methods, of which the author has been responsible for drafting); the extent to which the results predict performance; the levels that can be achieved with different asphalt mixes and types; what levels, if any, should be specified in various situations and pavement layers; and which other properties are adversely affected by enhanced performance. The final section covers various aspects of sustainability, with a strong emphasis on durability. Better understanding should enable clients and consultants who specify pavements to produce durable asphalt pavements more economically, and also help asphalt producers and students trying to understand the black art of asphalt.
Описание: An invaluable resource for industrial science and engineering newcomers to sputter deposition technology in thin film production applications, this book is rich in coverage of both historical developments and the newest experimental and technological information about ceramic thin film, a key technology for nano-materials in high-speed information applications and large-area functional coating such as automotive or decorative painting of plastic parts.Key topics: Principles and examples of making thin-film materials and devices such as nanometer composite thin films, nanometer superlattice of compound ceramics, micro-sensors and actuators, micro-MEMS, mobile compact/flexible ferroelectric memory, flat display including plasma display and PLD, and thin film catalysis, solar battery, and large-area functional window glass coating for energy and environmental uses; Covers techniques in automotive parts coatings :non-peel plastics coatings with metal, alloy, and compound films.
Описание: The term `functional gradient materials' was coined in Japan in the 1980s to describe a class of materials having spatially homogenous microstructures and properties. These materials can be used successfully in such applications as electronic devices, optical films, anti-wear and anti-corrosion coatings, thermal barrier coatings and biomaterials. The materials are fabricated with the use of nanoparticles, leading to greatly improved performance. Nanoparticle technology is not straightforward, however, demanding a modification of methods for processing and characterization. This book provides graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, engineers and senior scientists with an in-depth review of aspects of the field, ranging from synthetic methods to a variety of applications. The different approaches to material synthesis are described, giving the reader a better understanding of the complex phenomena involved. Characterization and the evaluation of properties are also discussed.

Описание: This book arises from the NATO Advanced Study Institute "Nanostructured and Advanced Materials for Applications in Sensor, Optoelectronic and Photovoltaic Technology" held in Sozopol, Bulgaria, in September 2004. It comprises a variety of invited contributions by highly experienced educators, scientists, and industrialists, and is structured to cover important aspects of the field, from underlying principles, synthesis routes, characterizations, applications, and detailed considerations of commercial viability. In addition, the book consists of a selection of contributed articles describing various aspects of their current research and development activities. Several related topics on advanced electronic materials for sensor, optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications are also included in the book. It will be of considerable interest and value to those already pursuing or considering careers in the field of nanostructured materials and nanotechnology, in general. It also serves as a valuable source of information for those interested in related aspects of the field, such as science and technology of thin film materials and devices.

Описание: The urgent need for infrastructure rehabilitation and maintenance has led to a rise in the levels of research into bituminous materials. Breakthroughs in sustainable and environmentally friendly bituminous materials are certain to have a significant impact on national economies and energy sustainability. This book will provide a comprehensive review on recent advances in research and technological developments in bituminous materials. . Opening with an introductory chapter on asphalt materials and a section on the perspective of bituminous binder specifications, Part One covers the physiochemical characterisation and analysis of asphalt materials. Part Two reviews the range of distress (damage) mechanisms in asphalt materials, with chapters covering cracking, deformation, fatigue cracking and healing of asphalt mixtures, as well as moisture damage and the multiscale oxidative aging modelling approach for asphalt concrete. The final section of this book investigates alternative asphalt materials. Chapters within this section review such aspects as alternative binders for asphalt pavements such as bio binders and RAP, paving with asphalt emulsions and aggregate grading optimization.

Описание: The sol-gel method is known to produce materials from solutions either in bulk, coating films, fibers or powders. It is also known that this method makes low temperature processing of materials possible. This technology has dramatically grown in these two or three decades. Sol-Gel Science and Technology covers optical, electronic and magnetic, chemical, mechanical, biomedical and biotechnological materials. Concerning the microstructures, the sol-gel method applies to porous materials, dense materials like glasses and ceramics, organic-inorganic hybrids and nanocomposites. The four volumes of this reference treat four areas that are timely, important and seeing great research activity: -Sol-gel prepared ferroelectrics and related materials. -Sol-gel processing of titanium oxides: photocatalyst and other applications. -Sol-gel prepared organic-inorganic hybrids and nanocomposites. -Sol-gel processing of porous materials: application to catalysts, enzymes, chemical analysis, sensors, and membranes. The goal of these four volumes is to disseminate the recent research results published in recent issues of Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology, which is a unique journal devoted to Sol-Gel. Papers have been selected from those published in volumes 16-25 of the Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology spanning the years 1999-2002. Volume 1 presents papers on preparation, structure, properties and applications of ferroelectrics and related materials, such as, piezoelectric and pyroelectric materials. Representative ferroelectric materials include BaTiO3, Pb(Ti,Zr)O3, PbTiO3, LiNbO3, KNbO3, LiTaO3, and Pb(ZnNb)O3. Generally, these materials have a high dielectric constant and are characterized by large piezoelectric, pyroelectric and electrooptic effects as well as nonlinear optical effects. On the basis of these unique properties, ferroelectric materials have been applied to produce active elements of various devices. Volume 2 contains papers on sol-gel processing of titanium oxides for photocatalyst and other recent applications. Titanium dioxide, TiO2, is both an old and new material with a variety of interesting functions. Conventionally, TiO2 was used mainly as light-scattering particles in porcelain enamel, ceramic glaze, white points and the suspension-type eraser. A more recent application of similar nature is the incorporation of TiO2 into UV- shielding cosmetics, which protect human skin from UV damage. TiO2 is also employed as nucleating agent for crystallization of glass, providing glass-ceramics. Papers on sol-gel prepared organic-inorganic hybrids and nanocomposites are compiled in Volume 3. Typical organic-inorganic hybrids have a microstructure in which inorganic species like -Si-O-Ti-O- are combined with organic polymers like polymethylmethacrylate chains at the molecular level. Volume 4 compiles papers on the gel as porous material. Porous gels with nano-size pores and micron-size pores are applied to formation of catalysts, enzymes, chemical analysis, sensors and membranes. Pore surfaces are significant because they serve as the absorption and reaction site for catalysts, enzymes, chemical reaction, and sensing molecules or atoms.
