Applied Scanning Probe Methods VIII: Scanning Probe Microscopy Techniques

Product Description

The volumes VIII, IX and X examine the physical and technical foundation for recent progress in applied scanning probe techniques. The first volume came out in January 2004, the second to fourth volumes in early 2006 and the fifth to seventh volumes in late 2006. The field is progressing so fast that there is a need for a set of volumes every 12 to 18 months to capture latest developments. These volumes constitute a timely comprehensive overview of SPM applications. After introducing scanning probe microscopy, including sensor technology and tip characterization, chapters on use in various industrial applications are presented. Industrial applications span topographic and dynamical surface studies of thin-film semiconductors, polymers, paper, ceramics, and magnetic and biological materials. The chapters have been written by leading researchers and application scientists from all over the world and from various industries to provide a broader perspective.

Applied Scanning Probe Methods II: Scanning Probe Microscopy Techniques

Product Description

Volumes II, III and IV examine the physical and technical foundation for recent progress in applied near-field scanning probe techniques, and build upon the first volume published in early 2004. The field is progressing so fast that there is a need for a second set of volumes to capture the latest developments. It constitutes a timely comprehensive overview of SPM applications, now that industrial applications span topographic and dynamical surface studies of thin-film semiconductors, polymers, paper, ceramics, and magnetic and biological materials. Volume II introduces scanning probe microscopy, including sensor technology, Volume III covers the whole range of characterization possibilities using SPM and Volume IV offers chapters on uses in various industrial applications. The international perspective offered in these three volumes – which belong together – contributes further to the evolution of SPM techniques.

Electrostatic Particle Charging: Industrial and Health Care Applications

Product Description
During the last twelve years, many new products and techniques have been developed in the powder coating industry, and other new and exciting applications of electrostatically charged particles have begun to make an impact on our lives. This book presents a fundamental treatment of how individual solid particles may be electrically charged and manipulated in such a way as to be of practical use. The three most familiar applications of charged particles, powder coating, precipitation and electrocopying are all described. In addition, less well-known applications are highlighted, and relatively new and increasingly important applications relating to health care, including the electrostatic control of airborne allergens, are introduced. Mathematical treatment is kept to a minimum. Aimed at a wide range of readers, this book is suitable for newcomers to the field as well as being a useful reference for specialists concerned with particle charging.

Handbook of Technical Textiles

Product Description
While various books address the technical textile industry, most are vague or narrow in scope, addressing only a specific process, fabric structure, or area of application. Although the development of technical and industrial applications for textiles goes back many years, more recent milestones have marked the emergence of technical textiles, as we know them today. Very largely, these have centered upon new materials, processes, and applications.

A comprehensive new book, HANDBOOK OF TECHNICAL TEXTILES provides in-depth coverage of all the principal aspects of manufacturing processes and fabric structures, plus in-depth reporting on all major applications of high-tech textiles. This publication examines textiles for a wide range of industrial uses, including heat and flame protection applications, waterproof and breathable fabrics, geotextiles and natural fibre geotextiles; as well as the use of textiles in medicine, defence, transport and filtration; textiles for survival, and textiles and the environment.

HANDBOOK OF TECHNICAL TEXTILES is ideal for textile yarn and fibre manufacturers, producers of woven, knitted, and non-woven fabrics, textile finishers, and companies producing new textile coatings and colorants. If you work with textiles in any capacity, this will prove itself an indispensable guide and an up-to-date reference book.

Introduction to Particle Technology

Product Description
Introduction to Particle Technology Martin Rhodes Monash University, Australia Particle technology is of increasing importance to a wide range of industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, minerals and metals. In these industries, companies with in-house knowledge of particle technology have a competitive advantage in product development, quality control and waste minimization. This accessible book forms a comprehensive introduction to the many concepts of this broad subject. Key topics covered include:-
* Characterisation (size analysis)
* Processing (fluidized beds, granulation)
* Particle formation (granulation, size reduction)
* Fluid-Particle separation (filtration, settling, gas cyclones)
* Safety (dust explosions)
* Transport (pneumatic transport and standpipes)
Worked examples of calculations and exercises (with answers) are provided in each chapter and real-life industrial applications illustrating the techniques and theory are included. This book is essential reading for students of chemical engineering on particle technology courses. It is also valuable supplementary reading for students of civil engineering, applied chemistry, physics, pharmaceutics, metallurgy and materials engineering.
