    Book Description

    The surface characterizations of engineering materials effects their scratch/abrasion/Mar resistance, coating adhesion/strength, and abrasive wear mechanism.
    Scratching of Materials and Applications has chapters devoted to direct industrial application and contains some of the important works that are being conducted. Scratch testing of materials has grown extensively since the earlier days of the Mohs Scale for ranking minerals according to their relative scratch resistance. This test has been used on metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers and coatings of various types and thicknesses.
    The chapters are grouped according to the type of the engineering materials used. The beginning chapters relate mostly to bulk polymers, which are followed by different types of coatings (hard wear resistant to the diamond-like carbon coatings) and finally, chapters on the application of scratching technique to metals and ceramics are included at the end of the book. Thus, the book covers a fairly wide spectrum of engineering materials which are useful to engineers and researchers.

    * Balances theoretical science with practical application
    * Demonstrates real-life applications within industry
    * Written experts in the fields of materials, tribology and surface mechanics

        Book Description

        This book is concerned with the configuration of polymers at the interfacial zone between two other phases or immiscible components. In recent years, developments in technology combined with increased attention from specialists in a wide range of fields have resulted in a considerable increase in our understanding of the behavior of polymers at interfaces. Inevitably these advances have generated a wealth of literature and although there have been numerous reviews, a critical treatment with adequate descriptions of both theory and experiment, including detailed analysis of the two, has been missing. This text hopes to fill this gap, providing a timely and comprehensive account of the field as it stands today.
        This long needed work will be invaluable to experts as well as newcomers in the broad field of polymers, interfaces and colloids, both in industry and academia. Whilst industrial laboratories involved in this field will find it indispensable, it will be equally important to anyone with an interest in interfacial polymer or colloidal research.

                      Book Description

                      The authors illustrate the basic physics and materials science of conjugated polymers and their interfaces, particularly, but not exclusively, as they are applied to polymer-based light emitting diodes. The approach is to describe the basic physical and associated chemical principles that apply to these materials, which in many instances are different from those that apply to their inorganic counterparts. The main aim of the authors is to highlight specific issues and properties of polymer surfaces and interfaces that are relevant in the context of the emerging field of polymer-based electronics in general, and polymer-based light emitting diodes in particular. Both theoretical and experimental methods used in the study of these systems are discussed. This book will be of interest to graduate students and research workers in departments of physics, chemistry, electrical engineering and materials sciences studying polymer surfaces and interfaces and their application in polymer-based electronics.

                        5 out of 5 stars Physics/math study.......2007-02-22

                        This is an absolute necessity for a graduate student! Studying math/physics. One of the very best available. I was very pleased in the condition of the book, and the price made it affordable for me.

                        5 out of 5 stars The work of a master.......2006-12-26

                        Landau's approach to Classical Field Theory demonstrates his ability to be clear, concise, and elegant without drowning out the physics with math. I will say, however, that Landau requires a certain maturity to appreciate his style (same goes for Rudin's books of analysis). I would recommend this title to those with a working knowledge of classical E & M, vector/tensor analysis, and of special relativity. It is also wise to work through the author's Theoretical Mechanics to get a taste of their style. I believe, contrary to many, that this book is appropriate for self study if one is willing to do the work (not only the exercises but following along pencil in hand). I suggest reading a passage and then covering it up and then trying to do the derivations by hand. I also suggest the study of Hermann Weyl's Space-Time-Matter for more on GR. My only complaint is the quality of print, which has is not the fault of the authors. It is especially annoying at first.

                        2 out of 5 stars Overrated for Learning.......2006-12-02

                        L&L, while elegant, is umotivated in the justifications that start their derivations. If the subject matter is grasped, then L&L is excellent for its directness. In brief, the volume is far from a learning tool.

                        4 out of 5 stars My comment is not about the content, but about the edition........2006-08-15

                        First, I love this book, it is superb. If the comment is only on the contents, I'll give 5 stars without any hesitation.

                        However, one star is taken because I seriously despise the way the publisher treating this book, or, the entire classic Landau series. Some of the letters are vague. All letters are not dark enough, even a xerox copy is darker than this book! Some straight lines are broken.

                        Why can't the publisher make the classic of Landau be their own classic?

                        1 out of 5 stars Russian School of Physics.......2006-03-27

                        I bought this book for a graduate E & M physics class and found it utterly useless. Maybe it would be good for a math class, but even then I doubt it.

                          3 out of 5 stars Usefull.......2004-08-10

                          This text (translated from the Russian) packs a lot between it's 230 page covers. Ch1: Mechanics of Piezoelectric Materials ; covers constitutive equations, the variational formulation and various solution methods. The authors do not provide detailed proofs ... rather they simply present the results in most cases. Ch2 ; covers a large number of closed form piezoelectric solutions mostly by brief sketch of each solution taken from the literature. The chapter has a large bibliography (about half are Russian publications). Ch3 ; covers magnetic; magnetostrictive transducer and induction heating theory (i have not read this chapter).
                          Although the text seems devoid of new work, it does bring a lot of the literature together and should be usefull for those interested in piezoelectric transducer theory.

                                          E-Tales? It's cyberspace entertainment in print for the first time. This huge collection of Internet humor parades outrageous jokes, alarming facts, amazing-if-true stories, revealing personality tests, and mind-numbing word games. The world's worst accidents and horrible diseases appear next to terrifying tales of air travel. Jokes about the sex lives of old people mix with signs that you're getting old. You'll find drawings you can make using x's and o's. "Darwin Awards" honor people who do stupid things that result in their demise (thus removing themselves from the gene pool). Vying for the worst country and western songs: "How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away?" and "I Still Miss You Baby, but My Aim's Getting Better." Much more to come: two men in a bar stories, sex in the White House jokes, and St. Peter at the Pearly Gates jokes.

                                          4 out of 5 stars Funny But Can Be Somewhat Vulgar.......2001-11-16

                                          This book has a lot of hilarious jokes in it, but it also has quite a few inappropriate jokes ranging from slightly vulgar to downright crude. Granted, the majority of the jokes are clean (as far as the language goes) but have adult themes (i.e. the differences between men & women, sex, drinking, etc) Overall this is a good book (in my opinion) but the reader should be aware of the possibility of being offended by some strong cuss words and outright obnoxious themes.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Best book on e-tails.......2001-09-10

                                          This book is so funny. I love the fact that it is a good-time read and is shocking at times. I can't remember a time when I read a book that I showed my friends and they couldn't put it down. Ever since I showed my friends and family, everybody I know has asked me where I got it. We took this book everywhere and everytime we got bored we'd just start reading it. If they came out with another book like this I'd definitly be the first to get it. I'd definitly recommened this book.

                                          4 out of 5 stars It was alright.......2001-08-12

                                          This book is a pretty cool book if you like that kind of stuff. Definitely not for the little kids though. Some vulgarities are included in the book. But all in all, it is really funny.
