IGI Global Production, Properties, and Applications of High Temperature Coatings (Advances in Chemical and Materials Engineering (ACME))

Heat resistant layers are meant to withstand high temperatures while also protecting against all types of corrosion and oxidation. Therefore, the micro-structure and behavior of such layers is essential in understanding the functionality of these materials in order to make improvements. Production, Properties, and Applications of High Temperature Coatings is a critical academic publication which examines the methods of creation, characteristics, and behavior of materials used in heat resistant layers. Featuring coverage on a wide range of topics such as, thermal spray methods, sol-gel coatings, and surface nanoengineering, this book is geared toward students, academicians, engineers, and researchers seeking relevant research on the methodology and materials for producing effective heat resistant layers. About the Author Amir Pakeresht has worked as a researcher at Tehran University (Postdoc position with Iran National Science Foundation: INSF, Since 2016) and Materials and Energy Research Center (MERC) Karaj- Iran, since 2010. Pakseresht completed his Ph.D. in materials science and engineering at MERC in 2015. He received his undergraduate study in materials science and engineering from Teheran University. He currently is a research fellow at MERC and Tehran University. His research interests lie in the area of plasma spraying, with a focus on splat morphology and new thermal barrier coatings. He, also, has collaborated actively with researchers in several other disciplines of materials science, particularly film, coating and metal matrix composite. Dr. Pakseresht has also published a book that has been published 5 times in 7 years. Totally, he has published more than 40 journal papers, 5 patents and one international book chapter (till 2017). He is an industry expert with more than 10 years of successful experience. He also, teaches physical chemistry of materials, thermo-dynamics of materials, non-destructive testing, and physical properties of materials.
