Chromic Materials: Fundamentals, Measurements, and Applications

Chromic Materials: Fundamentals, Measurements, and Applications, 9781771886802 (1771886803), Apple Academic Press, 2018

This informative volume reflects the state of art in the science of color-changeable materials and provides an abundance of in-depth knowledge about the field of colorimetry. The book describes the facts behind the chromic phenomena from the point of application, spectrophotometry of chromic materials, and instrumentation and testing.

The authors begin with a short historical overview of the chromic phenomena, chromic materials, and classification of chromic materials and then go on to provide comprehensive treatises on chromic (or color-changeable) textiles and production techniques. Detailed descriptions of measurement methods that are usable in cases of translucent or opaque materials are provided as well.

A number of new concepts are discussed along with standardized CIE (International Commission on Illumination) colorimetry with various CIE color space systems. Chromic materials appear as a dynamic system, which allows for a wide range of potential applications and related research. The authors share their own experiences with measurement of color chromic materials with the view to help fill the huge gap in field of measurement from the point of view in standardization. The authors conclude with an in-depth study of the testing of chromic testing, including testing for color fastness, fatigue resistance, light fastness, wash fastness, and rubbing fastness.

Adaptive Cooling of Integrated Circuits Using Digital Microfluidics

Artech House Publishers, 2007

Thanks to increasing power consumption and component density, localized "hot spots" are becoming a serious challenge in IC (integrated circuit) chip design - so serious, in fact, that Intel recently had to yank a circuit because it was literally burning. For IC engineers grappling with high power dissipation and thermal issues, new...

Quickstart Apache Axis2

Packt Publishing, 2008

A new architecture for Axis2 was introduced during the first Axis2 summit, which was held in 2004 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. This new architecture is more flexible, efficient, and configurable in comparison to Axis1.x architecture. Some well established concepts from Axis 1.x, like handlers, have been preserved in the
new architecture.

Nanoscale Devices: Fabrication, Functionalization, and Accessibility from the Macroscopic World (NanoScience and Technology)

Springer, 2009

The evolution of the microelectronics is controlled by the idea of scaling. However, the scaling of the device size below 10 nm is expected to be impossible because of physical, technological and economic reasons. Fundamental considerations (based on Heisenberg's principle, Schrödinger equation, decoherence of quantum states, and Landauer...
