Advanced surfaces enriches the high-throughput engineering of physical
and chemical phenomenon in relatin to electrical, magnetic, electronics,
thermal and optical controls, as well as large surface areas, protective
coatings against water loss and excessive gas exchange. A more
sophisticated example could be a highly selective surface permeability
allowing passive diffusion and selective transport of molecules in the
water or gases. The smart surface technology provides an interlayer
model which prevents the entry of substances without affecting the
properties of neighboring layers. A number of methods have been
developed for coatings, which are essential building blocks for the
top-down and/or bottom-up design of numerous functional materials.
Advanced Surface Engineering Materials offers a detailed up-to-date
review chapters on the functional coatings and adhesives, engineering of
nanosurfaces, high-tech surface, characterization and new applications.
The 13 chapters in this book are divided into 3 parts (Functional
coatings and adhesives; Engineering of nanosurfaces; High-tech surface,
characterization and new applications) and are all written by worldwide
subject matter specialists.
The book is written for readers from diverse backgrounds across
chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering, medical science,
environmental, bio- and nano- technologies and biomedical engineering.
It offers a comprehensive view of cutting-edge research on surface
engineering materials and their technological importance.
