Polymers and composites are ubiquitous in our daily lives, enabling, for example, lighter structural materials and food packaging. Their performance depends not only on their chemical structure, synthesis, architecture and shaping process, but also evolves... (Read more)

Researchers and students have not yet had access to a book which would enable them to trace the origins of the concepts that explain the behavior of materials under irradiation. This book fills the gap. As far back as antiquity, the notions of purity a... (Read more)

In recent years, significant developments have been made to increase the mechanical strength of steels in order to reduce the overall weight of structures, particularly in motor vehicles. Depending on the application, the increase in strength should not be... (Read more)

Over the last decade or so, additive manufacturing has revolutionized design and manufacturing methods by allowing more freedom in design and functionalities unattainable with conventional processes. This has generated extraordinarily high interest in both... (Read more)
