CRC Press Functional Materials and Advanced Manufacturing: 3-Volume Set (Manufacturing Design and Technology)

This three-volume set addresses a new knowledge of function materials, their processing, and their characterizations. "Functional and Smart Materials", covered the synthesis and fabrication route of functional and smart materials for universal applications such as material science, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, metrology, nanotechnology, physics, chemical, biology, chemistry, civil engineering, and food science. "Advanced Manufacturing and Processing Technology" covers the advanced manufacturing technologies includes coating, deposition, cladding, nanotechnology, surface finishing, precision machining, processing, and emerging advanced manufacturing technologies for processing of materials for functional applications. "Characterization, Testing, Measurement and Metrology" covered the application of new and advanced characterization techniques to investigate and analysis the processed materials.
