Synopsis

This book provides comprehensive coverage of shape-memory polymers (SMPs), a growing area within "smart materials" research. After offering an introduction to the topic and the nature of shape-memory effects and superelasticity, the author offers an in-depth look at the properties, mechanics, and characterization of SMPs and thermoplastic elastomers. Information on the wide range of applications for these materials follows, including: bioplastics and biomedical devices; textiles and fabrics; optical, electronic, and mechanical parts for control systems; cosmetics and beauty products; automotive (or other novel) materials.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Provides an interdisciplinary approach to the fabrication, assembly and structural characterization of nanomaterials

From metals and semiconductors to organic compounds and/or polymers, structures and properties are continuously being redefined, as building blocks in nanomaterials are leading to a plethora of novel devices and functions. For years, nanotechnology has paved the way for the marriage of many broad science disciplines, leading to life–altering innovations in medicine, electronics, biomaterials energy production, and consumer products. The field still remains broad and young, with debates ongoing about its overall impact.

Providing an eclectic snapshot of the current state of the art and future implications of the field, Nanomaterials, Polymers, and Devices: Materials Functionalization and Device Fabrication presents topics grouped into three categorical focuses:

• The synthesis, mechanism and functionalization of nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, and quantum dots
• Various functional devices which properties and structures are tailored with emphasis on nanofabrication. Among discussed are light emitting diodes, nanophotonic, nano–optical, and photovoltaic devices
• Nanoelectronic devices, which include semiconductor, nanotube and nanowire–based electronics, single–walled carbon–nanotube based nanoelectronics, as well as thin–film transistors

Bringing the disciplines of physics, chemistry and materials engineering closer together, this well–researched monograph exudes the versatility of nanotechnology in materials applications. Graduate students and professionals in academia and industry in the fields of nanomaterials/nanotechnology, polymers, bioengineering and materials engineering will find this book a valuable resource for their research in this ever–growing field.
