IGI Global Nanotechnology in Aerospace and Structural Mechanics

The realms of aerospace and structural mechanics have been revolutionized due to a plethora of technological advances. These two important sectors most notably have been impacted by the advancement of nanotechnology and have introduced potential groundbreaking changes for lightweight, high strength, and improved electronic properties of nanomaterials. Nanotechnology in Aerospace and Structural Mechanics aims to provide a collection of innovative research on the latest development of materials and methods for designing smart and intelligent devices for use in the field of space research and structural mechanics. It provides a thorough study of the fabrication and control of mechanical systems required for the successful application of nanotechnology in aerospace and structural engineering. While highlighting topics including nanomaterial properties, aerospace electronics, and polymer nanocomposites, this book is ideally designed for engineers, researchers, students, and academicians with interests in the fields of civil engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, and nanoscience. About the Author Noureddine Ramdani received a Bachelor of Engineering at National Preparatory School of Engineers, Ruiba, Algeria in 2007 and joined the Military School Polytechnics, Algeria, where he was an engineer in propellants and energetic materials. He transferred into the College of Chemical Engineering, Harbin Engineering University in 2011, and received a Ph.D. degree in Materials Science at Harbin Engineering University in 2016, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Wen-bin Liu. He is now Ph.D. supervisor in Materials Science, postgraduate's supervisor in Materials Science and Chemical Engineering at the Harbin Engineering University. In recent years he focused his research on synthesis and relationship between structure and properties of high-performance resins based composites and nano-composites such as polybenzoxazines, phthalonitrile-based composites application, as well as the preparations of novel resins and armor composites.
