Book Description

This volume contains selected papers presented at the symposium whose thematic sessions covered nanostructured bulk materials, films, coatings and nanocomposites. These new materials are now being introduced in structural applications, such as wear resistance, plastic forming, and other load bearing applications, Nanophase or nanocrystalline materials are also being used in electronics, refractory, biological and catalytic applications, Progress in a wide range of structural applications for nanomaterials crucially depends on the development of new fabrication and processing technologies, along with a fundamental understanding of the relationship between the structure and properties,
