Low-Dimensional 2D Metal Oxides and their Integration into Conductometric Gas Sensors provides a detailed description of the basic properties of 2D metal oxides before moving to a comparison of different low-dimensional MOXs and a discussion of synthesis and characterization methods. The book then investigates engineering and design, fundamental theories, mechanisms, properties, and analysis techniques of chemical gas sensors. Moreover, it describes materials and preparation methods for doping, decoration/functionalization, composite and heterostructure MOXs, which are useful in designing highly sensitive and selective sensing devices.To provide sufficient knowledge to the readers about the actual gas sensing mechanism, in-situ characterization methods are included. Lastly, future directions of 2D MOXs such as sensor arrays, electronic noses, research expansion, and market expansion are described.

Ductility and Formability of Metals: A Metallurgical Engineering Perspective uses metallurgical, mechanical and physical principles and concepts to explain ductility while emphasizing the influence of material microstructure on damage mechanisms. Focusing on steel, aluminum, copper, titanium and magnesium alloys, the book examines the strain hardening behaviors of these metals and alloys, the influence of strain rate and temperature, and ductile fracture mechanics. Hot plastic deformation is covered with special consideration given to its interplay with recrystallization phenomena. Other phenomena such as Dynamic Strain Ageing (DSA) and Adiabatic Shear Banding (ASB) are discussed, and metal working applications such as forging, extrusion and machining are included throughout. Methods for control of ductile cracks in metal parts resulting from rolling, forging, extrusion, drawing, and sheet metal forming are also outlined.
