  • Epoxy Resins, Curing Agents, Compounds, and Modifiers

    An Industrial Guide
    • 2nd Edition
    • Ernest W. Flick
    • English
    The second edition of this popular industrial guide describes over 2,800 currently available epoxy resins, curing agents, compounds, and modifiers, based on information supplied by 71 manufacturers or distributors of these products. Epoxy resins have experienced tremendous growth since their introduction in the 1950s. Future growth will be in new markets in the specialty performance areas and high-technology applications. Each raw material or product is described, as available, with typical assay or checkpoint figures and a brief summary of important features or applications. Additional sections useful to the reader are the Suppliers' Addresses and a Trade Name Index.

  • Handbook of Multilevel Metallization for Integrated Circuits

    • 1st Edition
    • Syd R. Wilson + 2 more
    • English
    The Handbook of Multilevel Metallization for Integrated Circuits answers and important need by pulling together in one volume a thorough technical summary of each of the key areas that make up a multilevel metal system. Included are associated design, analysis, materials, and manufacturing topics. The book then serves three purposes: It functions as a good learning tool for the engineer newly assigned to work in metallization; It serves as a reference text for any MLM engineer, new or experienced, who wishes to refresh their memory. For someone who wants to further specialize in one topical areas, an extensive listing of references has been provided.

    Microstructure and Engineering Applications
    • 2nd Edition
    • N. Mills
    • English
    Compact discs, cycle helmets and gas pipelines - these are diverse applications of plastic materials, each involving a unique engineering analysis. 'Plastics' highlights these examples, and its thorough and balanced treatment will provide students, engineers and scientists with a solid foundation for the analysis and development of many other plastic products.In this edition, the material has been reordered to emphasize the structural divisions of topic areas and to support teaching on practically oriented courses. Major new sections on materials selection and on the three design case-studies have been added and each chapter includes questions to test the reader's understanding.

  • Polymer Syntheses

    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 2
    • Stanley R. Sandler + 1 more
    • English
    This revised and updated Second Edition of Polymer Synthesis II continues in the tradition of Volume I in presenting detailed laboratory instructions for the preparation of various polymers. Each chapter is organized by functional groups, and each chapter not only presents preparative methods, but also includes a brief introductory summary, reviews of the very latest journal articles and patents, and safety hazards and precautions. Procedures have been chosen on the basis of safety considerations and ease of being carried out with standard laboratory equipment. This comprehensive treatment of each polymer group makes Polymer Synthesis II an indispensable guide for industrial and academic chemists as well as for students in the field.

  • Handbook of Magnetic Materials

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 7
    • K.H.J. Buschow
    • English
    Volume 7 of the Handbook of Magnetic Materials provides an overview of some of the most exciting topics in magnetism today.Firstly, a substantial step forward in the understanding of metallic magnetism has been reached by means of electronic band structure calculation. Progress in this area has been made not only due to the availability of high speed computing machines but also due to sophistication in the computational methodology. Two chapters are devoted to this subject, one of which is devoted to the elements and the other dealing primarily with 4f and 5f systems, including examples of the large group of intermetallic compounds. In both chapters the authors have concentrated on explaining the physics behind these band calculations. The chapters are written in a manner understandable to scientists having no experience with band calculations.Thin film technology has become a key issue in high density magnetic and magneto-optical recording and will be dealt with in future volumes of the Handbook. The present volume introduces the field with a chapter on the magnetism of ultrathin transition metal films, describing the richness in novel magnetic phenomens that has been encountered in the past few years in these materials. Of equal interest are the novel magnetic phenomena observed when magnetic moments are incorporated in a semiconducting matrix. A comprehensive description of these materials is found in the chapter on diluted magnetic semiconductors. A separate chapter is devoted to the progress made in the field of heavy fermions and valence fluctuations, emphasis being placed on the important results obtained by means of neutron scattering. A detailed review of the progress made in the field of rare earth based intermetallic compounds in combination with 3d transition metals completes this multifaceted volume.
