Synopsis

This handbook systematically collects latest scientific and technological knowledges on liquid metals obtained so far in this cutting edge frontier. Conventional materials like metals, polymers, composites, ceramics and naturally derived matters, may not work well when facing certain technological challenges. At around room temperature, most of such materials mainly stay at solid state and are often difficult to shape due to their high melting point. Meanwhile, although classical soft matters own good flexibility, their electrical conductivities including more behaviours appear not good enough which generally limited their utilizations. As a game changing alternative, the room temperature liquid metal materials are quickly emerging as a new generation functional material which displayed many unconventional properties superior to traditional materials. Their outstanding versatile feature as “One material, diverse capabilities” is rather unique among existing materials and thus opens many exciting opportunities for scientific, technological and industrial developments.

This handbook presents comprehensive reference information for liquid metal sciences and technologies that are currently available. The major advancements as made before will be collected and summarized. Representative liquid metal applications will be illustrated. It will help readers obtain a comprehensive understanding of the technical progresses and fundamental discoveries in the frontier, and thus better investigate and utilize liquid metal materials to tackle various challenging needs.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Prof. Jing Liu is a jointly appointed Professor of Tsinghua University (THU) and Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He received his double B.S. degrees in Engineering and Physics in 1992, and Ph.D. in 1996, all from THU and performed visiting researches at Purdue University and MIT. Dr. Liu works intensively at the interdisciplinary areas among liquid metal, biomedical engineering, and thermal science and pioneered a group of very fundamental discoveries in the area. His endeavors on liquid metal chip cooling, printed electronics, biomaterials, and soft machines initiated many game changing technologies which were frequently featured by worldwide science news. Dr. Liu’s inventions on hybrid freezing-heating tumor therapy machine and many mobile health care devices have led to diverse clinical uses. He is an author of fifteen popular books with one reprinted five times, over five hundred journal articles with over thirty selected as cover story, and holds more than 200 granted invention patents. Dr. Liu is a recipient of numerous awards, including the William Begell Medal (issued to only an individual every four years), R&D 100 Awards Finalist, 2010-2011 Best Paper of the Year Award from ASME Journal of Electronic Packaging, CCTV 2015 Top Ten Figures in Science and Technological Innovation, and highest teaching award from CAS for six times, etc.
