Book Description

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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Because carbon nanotubes have large aspect ratios, extremely high Young modulus and mechanical strength, and superior electrical and thermal conductivity, says Tjong (physics and materials science, City U. of Hong Kong), incorporating them into metal and ceramics produces high performance and functional nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical and physical properties. He examines the current status of synthesis, microstructural characterization, physical and mechanical properties, and applications of such composites, first with metal and then with ceramics. The manufacture of these nanocomposites for commercial applications is still embryonic, he explains, and its growth requires better understanding of the fundamental aspects.” (Book News Inc., February 2011)

“All said and done, this is a terrific book, carefully and accessibly written, covering a lot of material without oversimplifying. Just right for the carbon nanotubes.” (Current Engineering Practice, 2010)
