 | Edited by Atul Tiwari and Baldev Raj Copyright: 2015 | Status: Published ISBN: 9781119117575 | Hardcover | 601 pages Price: $225.00 USD  |
One Line Description
Provides comprehensive and in-depth information on the reactions and their mechanisms that occur during the degradation of materials when subjected to high temperature conditions.
Audience
This book will serve as a one-stop solution for materials science researchers, engineers, and technologists from diverse backgrounds in chemistry, physics, biology, materials science and engineering, including chemical engineering, who need to know why and how their materials fail a bruptly in certain service environments.

Description
Strong bonds form stronger materials. For this reason, the investigation on thermal degradation of materials is a significantly important area in research and development activities. The analysis of thermal stability can be used to assess the behavior of materials in aggressive environmental conditions, which in turn provides valuable information about the service life span of the material.
The unique and specific approach taken by this book focuses on the mechanism of degradation of materials, unlike other books published so far that have focused on either the fundamentals of thermal analysis or the degradation patterns of the materials. The mechanism of rapturing of chemical bonds as a result of exposure to high-temperature environment is difficult to study and resulting mechanistic pathway hard to establish. Limited information is available on this subject in the published literature and difficult to locate.
Reactions and Mechanisms in Thermal Analysis of Advanced Materials consists of 22 chapters written by international subject matter experts investigating the reactions and associated mechanisms observed in advanced and traditional materials as a function of time and temperature. The book is divided into two parts: the first part containing information about degradation of polymeric materials, and the second part devoted to materials other than polymers. Each chapter discusses the material, its possible application, behavior of chemical entities when exposed to high-temperature environment and mode and the mechanistic route of its decomposition. Such information is critical when selecting the chemical ingredients during the synthesis or development of new materials technology.
The reader will develop a deeper understanding of the degradation patterns in advanced next generation materials and will be able to devise the mechanistic routes of decomposition in their materials based on these robust insights.
