High Entropy Materials: Fundamentals and Potential Applications offers readers a comprehensive exploration of high entropy materials (HEMs), delving into both foundational science and the latest technological advances. The book begins by examining the unique properties that set HEMs apart, such as their exceptional strength, ductility, and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. Readers are introduced to the emerging field through detailed discussions of shape memory behavior, fatigue resistance, and the synergy between mechanical and functional characteristics, making this text a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and students interested in advanced materials design.
Beyond basic principles, the book provides in-depth reviews of specialized high entropy materials, including high-entropy superalloys, refractory alloys, and ferroelectric oxides. It covers innovative topics like nanocrystal libraries for catalysis, water splitting for hydrogen generation, and advancements in thermoelectric properties. The text also explores applications in energy storage, such as lithium and sodium batteries, as well as the development of high-entropy polymers and coatings designed for extreme environments. Importantly, it highlights the integration of AI-based methods for navigating the complex composition space of HEMs, with contributions from leading experts at the pioneering High Entropy Materials Center in Taiwan.
