Nanostructured Materials: Processing, Properties and Applications, 2nd edition is an extensive update to the exceptional first edition, double the size.

Retaining the organization of the first edition, Part 1 covers the important synthesis and processing methods for the production of nanocrystalline materials.

Part 2 focuses on selected properties of nanostructured materials. Potential or existing applications are described as appropriate throughout the book.

The second edition has been updated throughout for the latest advances and includes two additional chapters.

Key Features:

• Chapter 1 now discusses the cytotoxicity of nanoparticles
• Chapter 2 is a new addition, covering synthesis of nanostructured materials by inert-gas condensation methods
• Chapter 6 presents recent breakthroughs in the mechanical and magnetic properties of electrodeposited nanocrystalline materials
• Chapter 7 describes various modeling techniques including molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods
• Chapter 9 presents important advances in nanostructured materials for gas reactive applications. Of special interest in the sensitivity to nanocrystalline structure
• Chapter 10 is a new addition, covering magnetic nanoparticles and applications for magnetic recording media, spin valve devices, and tunnel junction structures and possible magnetic random access memory
• Chapter 12 shows an experimental breakthrough of the observation of both high strength and good ductility in some nanocrystalline materials
• Chapter 13 reports on a Ti-based alloy with a nanocrystalline matrix and micron-scale ductile dendrites exhibiting both high strength and good ductility
