The logic for determining the significance of model numbers for the various Canon DSLR models can appear nonexistent. By inference, we've concluded that the EOS ID series—with its various alphabetic suffixes and Mark qualifiers—is the top-of-the-line professional DSLR body. Other single-digit D- series DSLR bodies are...

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics has emerged as a promising new field of study dealing with irreversible processes in matter, and is fundamental to understanding these systems on a wide range of length scales, including the micro- or...

This book lays the theoretical foundations and emphasizes the close connection between theory and experiment to optimize models and real-life procedures for the various stages of polymer composite development. As such, it covers quantum-mechanical approaches to understand the chemical processes on an atomistic level, molecular mechanics...

This book addresses the principles, methods and applications of biodegradable polymer based scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The general principle of bone tissue engineering is reviewed and the traditional and novel scaffolding materials, their properties and scaffold fabrication techniques are explored. By acting as temporary synthetic...

Over 30% of commercial polymers are blends or alloys or one kind or another. Nanostructured blends offer the scientist or plastics engineer a new range of possibilities with characteristics including thermodynamic stablility; the potential to improve material transparency, creep and solvent resistance; the potential to simultaneously increase...

Polyoxymethylene Handbook: Structure, Properties, Applications, and Their Nanocomposites summarizes many of the...
