Research and Markets, leading source for international market research and
market data, has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report
"Carbon
Nanotube Reinforced Composites: Metal and Ceramic Matrices" to their
offering.
Carbon nanotube (CNT) was first discovered and reported in 1991. Since then,
some efforts have been made to acquire its function as a reinforcing agent in
ceramic matrix composites (CMC) and metal matrix composites (MMC). CNT was found
to have outstanding elastic modulus and plasticity. So far, it is difficult
to visualize the entire picture of this subject without going through a huge
literature survey of articles. It is therefore high time that all information
on this topic be organized in a single book to provide a comprehensive view
of it.
Providing a broad insight into the potential applications of carbon nanotubes
with metals and ceramic materials as a matrix, this book focuses on the preparation
and the microstructural, physical, and mechanical characterizations of such
novel nanocomposites. It features information on current synthesis and structure-property-relationships
of metals and ceramics reinforced with CNT, organizing the vast array of surveys
scattered throughout the literature in a single monograph. With its laboratory
protocols and data tables this is invaluable reading for research workers and
academics, as well as for applied scientists and industry personnel.
