Optimization is a procedure of finding and comparing feasible solutions until no better
solution can be found. Solutions are termed good or bad in terms of an objective, which
is often the cost of fabrication, amount of harmful gases, efficiency of a process, product
reliability, or other factors A significant portion of research...
Learn the latest advances in SiC (Silicon Carbide) technology from the leading experts in the field with this new cutting-edge resource. The book is your single source for in-depth information on both SiC device fabrication and system-level applications. This comprehensive reference begins with an examination of how SiC is grown and how defects in...
The book you’re holding in your hands is going to show you how to build your very own 3D Printer. It’s
not science fiction. It’s a device that will allow you to print out (in plastic) whatever you can imagine.
(Okay, that’s a bit of a stretch – there are size limitations when using this machine.)

Reading this book is very much like attending a conference in the field of inorganic advanced materials, faithful to the sources of the papers which it contains. David A. Schiraldi Case Western Reserve University Cleveland Ohio
During the last decade, stimulated by unprecedented growth in the wireless communication application, outstanding progress has been made in the development of low-cost solutions for front-end RF and microwave systems. Lumped elements such as inductors, capacitors, and resistors have played a vital role in the development of such...
Discover the materials set to revolutionize the electronics industry
The search for electronic materials that can be cheaply solution-processed into films, while simultaneously providing quality device characteristics, represents a major challenge for materials scientists. Continuous semiconducting thin films with large carrier mobilities are...
Membranes are an energy efficient separation technology that are now the basis for many water treatment and food processing applications. However, there is the potential to improve the operating performance of these separations and to extend the application of membranes to energy production, gas separations, organic solvent-based...
Ready to join the personal fabrication movement? This hands-on book shows you how to make a wide variety of physical objects with the amazing MakerBot 3D printer.
It’s handy when you need a replacement for something lost, broken, or no longer made—like a knob on your stove. You can make things instead of...
A definitive guide to Microfuel Cells principles and applications.
Today's consumers of portable electronics consumers are demanding devices not only deliver more power but also work healthy for the environment. This fact alone has lead major corporations like Intel, BIC, Duracell and Microsoft to believe that Microfuel Cells...
The Theory and Applications of Nanophotonics Devices, Fabrication, and Systems
Coauthored by the developer of nanophotonics, Principles of Nanophotonics outlines physically intuitive concepts of the subject using a novel theoretical framework that differs from conventional wave optics. It probes far-reaching physical...
Microsensors and MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) are revolutionising the semiconductor industry. A microsystem or the so-called "system-on-a-chip" combines microelectronic circuitry with microsensors and microactuators. This emergent field has seen the development of applications ranging from the electronic nose and...
Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) represent a relatively new class of quasiductile
ceramic materials. They are characterized by carbon or ceramic fi bers embedded
in ceramic matrices (oxide or non - oxide) with comparatively low bonding
forces between the fi bers and the matrix. These weak intefaces, in combination
with a porous...
