Gubicza J. Defect structure in nanomaterials

Woodhead Publishing, 2012. — 389 p.Nanomaterials exhibit unique mechanical and physical properties compared to their coarse-grained counterparts, and are consequently a major focus of current scientific research. The author provides a detailed overview of the processing methods, defect structure and defect related mechanical and physical properties of a wide range of nanomaterials. The book begins with a review of the production methods of nanomaterials, including severe plastic deformation, powder metallurgy and electrodeposition. Chapters pay special attention to the lattice defects in low stacking fault energy nanomaterials, metal-carbon nanotube composites, discuss the thermal stability of defect structure in nanomaterials and study the influence of lattice defects on mechanical and hydrogen storage properties.Processing methods for nanomaterials
