Books in the Advances in Material Research and Technology series

This book provides understanding of raw materials, manufacturing and biomedical applications of different polymeric and natural composites such as drug delivery, growth factor delivery, orthopedics, dentistry and wound dressing.

This book covers nanostructure materials for application as supercapacitors. It highlights the properties that make them ideal for energy storage applications. It reports approaches on their electronic, electrical, thermal properties to increase their specific surfaces in order to improve their electrical storage capacities. This book consolidates information on synthesis, characterization and application for supercapacitors with detailed characterization, mechanistic approaches and theoretical consideration. The  progress in experimental and theoretical studies on various properties of nanomaterials and its polymer and other composites are described in detail.

This book covers the fundamentals of different laser-based manufacturing and processing, namely laser shock peening, laser micromachining, laser cleaning, cladding, remelting, laser honing, and other several aspects of lasers. The book discusses the general laser interaction with different materials. The application of laser-based post-processing of additive manufacturing and repair engineering is reported. It also provides the reader with mechanism of lasers in manufacturing and recent developments in tools, technologies, controls, and operations.
