Sheet Metal 2011
Eds. J.R. Duflou, R. Clarke, M. Merklein, F. Micari, B. Shirvani
and K. Kellens
Key Engineering Materials Vol. 473
This work contains the proceedings of the 14th International
Conference on Sheet Metal, held in Leuven, Belgium, from the 18th
to the 20th April, 2011. The objective of the International Conferences
on Sheet Metal is to provide a forum where researchers,
academics and industrialists can discuss and promote both the
early dissemination of research results, and technology-transfer in
sheet-metal processing. The conference provides an opportunity for
those working on experimental research, as well as those involved
in analytical and numerical modeling, to present their work. The
contents therefore provide an unequalled overview of the field.

Silicon Carbide and Related Materials 2009
Eds. Anton J. Bauer, Peter Friedrichs, Michael Krieger, Gerhard
Pensl, Roland Rupp and Thomas Seyller
Materials Science Forum Vols. 645-648
The 13th International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related
Materials 2009 (ICSCRM 2009) was held at the Congress Center,
Nürnberg (CCN), Germany from October 11 to 16, 2009. This was
a truly important and exciting event in the history of wide-bandgap
semiconductors, as 503 scientists and engineers from 29 countries
reported and discussed the progress made during the previous
two years. These proceedings therefore represent a timely and very
up-to-date overview of the subject.

Silicon Carbide and Related Materials 2010
Eds. Edouard V. Monakhov, Tamás Hornos and Bengt. G. Svensson
Materials Science Forum Vols. 679-680
This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th European
Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ECSCRM
2010), held in Oslo (Sundvolden Conference Centre), Norway,
on August 29th – September 2nd. The editions of ECSCRM have
developed over the years and, today, ECSCRM is the leading
European conference in the field of ‘SiC and related materials
and their applications’. This volume is divided into five chapters
ranging from ‘SiC growth’ to ‘Biosystems’ and thus represents a
comprehensive coverage of the field.

Silicon Science and Advanced Micro-Device Engineering I
Eds. Osamu Hanaizumi and Masafumi Unno
Key Engineering Materials Vol. 459
This special issue contains the proceedings of a joint meeting of
the 5th International Symposium on Silicon Science and the 1st
International Conference on Advanced Micro-Device Engineering
(ISSS & AMDE 2009), organized by the International Education and
Research Center for Silicon Science and the Advanced Technology
Research Center, Gunma University, held on the 10th and 11th of
December 2009 in Kiryu, Japan. The scope of these proceedings
encompasses: “Materials Science,” “Chemical Science and
Technology,” “Nano-Science and Technology,” “Photonics Devices
and Technology,” “Novel Measurement and System Technology,”
and “Information and Communication Engineering.” This work
thus constitutes an essential guide to the current thinking in this
subject area.

Silk
Inheritance and Innovation - Modern Silk Road
Eds. Lun Bai and Guo-Qiang Chen
Advanced Materials Research Vols. 175-176
For thousands of years, traditional silk culture has had far-reaching
implications for east and west, and he famous Silk Road in particular
promoted economic and trade development. In the present global
economic crisis, academic communication has become vital to
revolutionizing innovation and development in the international
textile and silk industry. Thus, this special collection focuses
on new technology as it affects mulberry and silkworms, new
textile materials, especially silk-based functional materials and
biomaterials, and design, processing techniques in the manufacture
of silk and other textile products, chemical treatment technology, and
clothing science and culture.

Size Effects in Metals, Semiconductors and Inorganic
Compounds
Eds. Grégory Guisbiers and Dibyendu Ganguli
Key Engineering Materials Vol. 444
This book describes the size effect upon thermal, electrical,
magnetic, optical and mechanical properties. It provides a clear
overview of size as being a new parameter that permits the tuning
of material properties. The book is divided into three parts. The first
presents a general overview of the nanoworld. The second describes
the synthesis of nanoparticles and how material properties are
modified at the nanoscale. The third part concerns the application
of nanotechnology in the real world; as nanostructured solar cells
and light-emitting diodes. This work comprises 11 chapters written
by experts in their respective fields. Chapter 1, by Wautelet, is an
introduction to the nanoworld. In Chapter 2, Pan et al. update recent
progress made in dealing with coordination-resolved energetic
and dynamic behavior of bonds in low-dimensional systems, with
consideration of the combined effect of temperature and pressure.
In chapter 3, Rodriguez et al. discuss size effect and shape stability
of nanoparticles. In Chapter 4, Guisbiers describes how to obtain
quantitative information on nanomaterials using thermodynamics.
In Chapter 5, Ganguli considers the size effect in disordered
nanoparticles. In Chapter 6, Delogu et al. describe how to synthesize
nanostructures. In Chapter 7, Yang et al. consider the size effect upon
the optical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals. In Chapter 8,
Erb discusses the size effect on mechanical properties. In Chapter 9,
Zhao et al. examine the size effect on thermal properties. The last two
chapters, by Nanda and Vigil cover applications of nanotechnology;
in particular, light-emitting diodes and nanostructured solar cells. This
book will be useful to undergraduate as well as graduate students
as well as experienced researchers in materials science, physics,
chemistry and engineering.
