Advanced Techniques for Assessment Surface Topography: Development of a Basis for 3D Surface Texture Standards “Surfstand”

Product Description
This publication deals with the latest developments in the field of 3D surface metrology and will become a seminal text in this important area.

It has been prepared with the support of the European Community’s Directorate General XII and represents the culmination of research conducted by 11 international partners as part of an EU-funded project. The aim of the project is to inform standards bodies of the possibilities that exist for a new international standard covering the field of 3D surface characterisation.

The book covers a description of the proposed 3D surface parameters and advanced filtering techniques using wavelet and robust Gaussian methodologies. The next generation areal surface characterisation theories are discussed and their practical implementation is illustrated. It describes techniques for calibration of 3D instrumentation, including stylus instruments as well as scanning probe instrumentation. Practical verification of the 3D parameters and the filtering is illustrated through a series of case studies which cover bio-implant surfaces, automotive cylinder liner and steel sheet. Finally, future developments of the subject are alluded to and implications for future standardisation and development are discussed.

Bioinspired Intelligent Nanostructured Interfacial Materials

Product Description
Intelligent materials are emerging composite materials that have boomed since the 1990s. In the 21st century, the variety of intelligent materials is continuously expanding and the domains of which are constantly being broadened. The intelligent material system is of great scientific significance – it combines studies that explore nature, mimic nature and surpass nature, which involve a multitude of structures and functions. It also provides novel ideas, new theories, and cutting-edge methodologies for the innovation of science and technology. Thus, mimicking the microstructures and functions found in nature will build a bridge between biology and technology, which may provide inspirations for solving today’s technological problems. Inspired by nature, the authors proposed a concept of Binary cooperative complementary micro/nanoscale interfacial materials. Based on this design concept, the contact and coupling of heterogeneous materials will result in novel properties on the surface or interface of materials, which may create new functional materials and devices. This book gives a complementary introduction about biomimic intelligent micro/nanoscale interfacial materials, devoting largely to the intelligent materials with special wettabilities.

Microtas 2004: Volume 2

Product Description

The Eighth International Conference on Miniaturized Systems in Chemistry and Life Science – µTas 2004 – is an annual meeting focusing on the research, development and application of miniaturized technologies and methodologies in chemistry and life science. The conference is celebrating its tenth anniversary after the first workshop at the University of Twente, The Netherlands in 1994. This research field is rapidly developing and changing towards a domain where core competence areas such as microfluidics, micro- and nanotechnology, materials science, chemistry, biology, and medicine are melting together to a truly interdisciplinary meeting place.

This volume is the second in a two volume set, a valuable reference collection to all working in this field.
