Fundamentals, Properties, and Applications of Polymer Nanocomposites
Author: Joseph H. Koo
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316094413
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 719
Book Description
This book is focused primarily on polymer nanocomposites, based on the author's research experience as well as open literature. The environmental health and safety aspects of nanomaterials and polymer nanocomposites, risk assessment and safety standards, and fire toxicity of polymer nanocomposites, are studied. In the final chapter, a brief overview of opportunities, trends, and challenges of polymer nanocomposites are included. Throughout the book, the theme is developed that polymer nanocomposites are a whole family of polymeric materials whose properties are capable of being tailored to meet specific applications. This volume serves as a general introduction to students and researchers just entering the field and to scholars from other subfields seeking information.

Reusable Launch Vehicle
Author: Committee on Reusable Launch Vehicle Technology and Test Program
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309588960
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
The key to opening the use of space to private enterprise and to broader public uses lies in reducing the cost of the transportation to space. More routine, affordable access to space will entail aircraft-like quick turnaround and reliable operations. Currently, the space Shuttle is the only reusable launch vehicle, and even parts of it are expendable while other parts require frequent and extensive refurbishment. NASA's highest priority new activity, the Reusable Launch Vehicle program, is directed toward developing technologies to enable a new generation of space launchers, perhaps but not necessarily with single stage to orbit capability. This book assesses whether the technology development, test and analysis programs in propulsion and materials-related technologies are properly constituted to provide the information required to support a December 1996 decision to build the X-33, a technology demonstrator vehicle; and suggest, as appropriate, necessary changes in these programs to ensure that they will support vehicle feasibility goals.

An Analysis of a Charring Ablation Thermal Protection System
Author: Donald M. Curry
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Ablative materials
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
An analytical model is presented for predicting the transient one-dimensional thermal performance of a charring-ablator heat-protection system when exposed to a hyperthermal environment. The heat-protection system is considered to consist of a ablation material and backup structure. The ablating material is further considered to consist of three distinct regions or zones: char, reacting, and virgin material. A FORTRAN IV digital computer program (STAB II) utilizing an implicit finite difference formulation has been written for the IBM 709/40 computer system. The program considers one ablating material and a maximum of 12 back- up materials with conduction or radiation and/or convection allowed between materials. Thermal properties of all materials are temperature dependent, with the properties of the charring material also being state dependent. The governing differential equations and their implicit finite difference formulation are presented. The program input and output are described in detail. The FORTRAN program statements and nomenclature are presented. Also, the theoretical and experimental results are compared.

Irreversible Electroporation
Author: Boris Rubinsky
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 364205420X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Non-thermal irreversible electroporation is a new minimally invasive surgical p- cedure with unique molecular selectivity attributes – in fact it may be considered the first clinical molecular surgery procedure. Non-thermal irreversible electro- ration is a molecular selective mode of cell ablation that employs brief electrical fields to produce nanoscale defects in the cell membrane, which can lead to cell death, without an effect on any of the other tissue molecules. The electrical fields can be produced through contact by insertion of electrode needles around the undesirable tissue and non-invasively by electromagnetic induction. This new - dition to the medical armamentarium requires the active involvement and is of interest to clinical physicians, medical researchers, mechanical engineers, che- cal engineers, electrical engineers, instrumentation designers, medical companies and many other fields and disciplines that were never exposed in their training to irreversible electroporation or to a similar concept. This edited book is designed to be a comprehensive introduction to the field of irreversible electroporation to those that were not exposed or trained in the field before and can also serve as a reference manual. Irreversible electroporation is broad and interdisciplinary. Therefore, we have made an attempt to cover every one of the various aspects of the field from an introductory basic level to state of the art.
