  • Diamond Films and Coatings

    Development, Properties and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • December 31, 1993
    • Robert F. Davis
    • Robert F. Davis
    • English
    This excellent, in-depth review of diamond films and coatings covers their properties, growth, deposition, characterization, and applications. The eight chapters are written by experts in their field. Early studies on synthetic diamonds were done in the 1950s and 1960s, however, their use and importance were not recognized until the late 1970s and early 1980s. These coatings are now being used in high temperature and tribological applications, optics and electro-optics applications, and certainly biological applications.

  • Electrodeposition

    The Materials Science of Coatings and Substrates
    • 1st Edition
    • December 31, 1993
    • Jack W. Dini
    • English
    Electrodeposition allows the "tailoring" of surface properties of a bulk material or, in the case of electroforming, the entire part. Deposits can be produced to meet a variety of designer demands. For this reason and for the possibilities that exist in terms of "new materials" for a variety of applications, a thorough understanding of the materials science of electrodeposition is of utmost importance. This book provides that understanding.
