Download or read book Mechanochemistry of Materials written by E. M. Gutman and published by Cambridge Int Science Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considerable advances have been made in mechanochemistry in the last couple of decades. Training of experts in this field with a background in materials science, chemical and mechanical engineering, etc. requires study of the fundamentals of mechanochemistry. There is a need for a textbook in the general and compressed form which would cover many aspects and would be used as a basis for understanding the fundamental principles to control mechanochemical phenomena. This textbook is based on lectures given by Prof Gutman in a graduate course in the mechanochemistry of materials at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. The book contains examples of experimental results to illustrate the mechanochemical phenomena and technologies Contents What is mechanochemistry of materials? Basic features of the behaviour of solids relevant to mechanochemical processes Irreversible thermodynamics of mechano-chemical reactions Kinetics of mechanochemical reactions under different stress state Main types of heterogeneous mechano-chemical reactions Mechanoelectrical phenomena and mechano-emission Application of mechanochemistry in materials engineering
