Adhesion Aspects in MEMS/NEMS

The book aims at describing the most important experimental methods for characterizing liquid interfaces, such as drop profile analysis, bubble pressure and drop volume tensiometry, capillary pressure technique, and oscillating drops and bubbles.

This edited book summarizes in a fairly comprehensive manner many of the recent technical research accomplishments in the area of polymer nanocomposites. The book emphasizes various aspects of synthesis and characterisation of polymer nanocomposites.

The book provides a link between the physical chemistry and self-assembly of biopolymer-based dispersed systems and the increasing requirement of the food technologist to use modern colloid science in product formulation.

Environmentally-friendly ECAs offer many advantages vis-a-vis solder, such as simple and low-temperature processing conditions, better thermo mechanical performance and finer pitch. This book is based on the two Special Issues of the Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology (JAST vol. 22, no. 8-9 and vol. 22, no. 14) dedicated to this topic. The book contains a total of 21 papers (reflecting overviews and original research) and is divided into three parts as follows: Part 1: Introduction and Recent Developments, Part 2: Mechanical, Durability and Reliability Aspects and Part 3: Characterization and Properties.

The book is devoted to kinetics and thermodynamics of the processes with participation of some biological compounds and their synthetic analogues. Aspects of their acting as model enzymes, molecular receptors, photo sensitizers, pharmocophores, and biopharmaceutical compounds are under consideration.

Scientific principles of design and fabrication of packaging materials for food purposes are described in this work, as well as methods for structural modification and other techniques. The main practical properties and applications of polymer materials are described.

Brings together selected contributed papers presented at the International Conference of Computational Methods in Science and Engineering (ICCMSE 2006), held in Chania, Greece, October 2006. This conference aims to bring together computational scientists from several disciplines in order to share methods and ideas.

Contains a collection of the lectures of the invited speakers presented at the International Conference of Computational methods in Science and Engineering (ICCMSE 2006), held in Chania, Greece, October 2006. This book presents developments of Computational Science pertinent to Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Mathematics and Engineering.

This volume presents the analysis of recent achievements in the field of photodegradation of polymers. It includes, first of all, data of Russian investigators who have decisively contributed in the development of this field of knowledge.
