Submit a ProposalIntroduction to Surface Engineering and Functionally Engineered Materials
 | By Peter M. Martin Copyright: 2011 | Status: Published ISBN: 9780470639276 | Hardcover | 580 pages | 414 illustrations Price: $183 USD  |
One Line Description
Incorporates in a single resource all aspects of surface engineering, including tribological, optical, electrical and electro-optic coatings and functionally engineered structures and materials.
The book will used by engineers, materials scientists, and product developers in industry who work with thin films, surfaces, coatings, optics, corrosion, nanotechnology, plasma, etc.
Students, faculty, and research community (government, industrial, and university labs) will find this book of great importance as well.
This book provides a clear and understandable text for users and developers of advanced engineered materials, particularly in the area of thin films, and addresses fundamentals of modifying the optical, electrical, photo-electric, triboligical, and corrosion resistance of solid surfaces and adding functionality to solids by engineering their surface, structure, and electronic, magnetic and optical structure. Thin film applications are emphasized. Through the inclusion of multiple clear examples of the technologies, how to use them,and the synthesis processes involved, the reader will gain a deep understanding of the purpose, goals, and methodology of surface engineering and engineered materials.
Virtually every advance in thin film, energy, medical, tribological materials technologies has resulted from surface engineering and engineered materials. Surface engineering involves structures and compositions not found naturally in solids and is used to modify the surface properties of solids and involves application of thin film coatings, surface functionalization and activation, and plasma treatment. Engineered materials are the future of thin film technology. Engineered structures such as superlattices, nanolaminates, nanotubes, nanocomposites, smart materials, photonic bandgap materials, metamaterials, molecularly doped polymers and structured materials all have the capacity to expand and increase the functionality of thin films and coatings used in a variety of applications and provide new applications. New advanced deposition processes and hybrid processes are being used and developed to deposit advanced thin film materials and structures not possible with conventional techniques a decade ago. Properties can now be engineered into thin films that achieve performance not possible a decade ago.

"Dr. Martin has done an excellent job of achieving his goal. Surface Engineering is often a neglected subject in engineering and materials science curricula. This book will be an important additon to overcoming this problem." Donald M. Mattox, Bulletin of the Society of Vacuum Coaters

Peter Martin worked at Battelle, Pacific Northwest Laboratory (BNW) for over twenty nine years where he currently holds an Emeritus Laboratory Fellow appointment, and specializes in developing thin film coatings for energy, biomedical, space and defense applications. He pioneered the use of reactive magnetron sputtering technology to fabricate novel and advanced optical coating materials with improved durability and adhesion, improved optical performance, and reduced mechanical stress. He specializes in large area optical and thin film coating development and has worked with the Thirty Meter Telescope Project to develop durable broad spectrum high reflector coatings on large substrates. He also led development of high performance large area ground based and space based laser mirrors for DOD applications. His team also demonstrated large area solar concentrator panels for residential solar power systems.
He has written over 400 technical publications and given over 200 presentations, has won three R&D 100 Awards for his work in microfabrication and barrier coatings for flat panel displays, has two FLC awards, was selected Battelle Technology of the Year (2003) for his work with the photolytic artificial lung, voted Distinguished inventor and PNNL 2005 Inventor of the Year. He has twenty six US patents and numerous foreign and pending patents in microtechnology, advanced thermoelectric materials, coatings technology and barrier coating areas. He also teaches short courses on smart materials and energy materials and applications.
