Description: "Nanocrystalline materials exhibit exceptional mechanical properties, representing a new class of structural materials for technological applications. The advancement of this field depends on the development of new fabrication methods, and an appreciation of the underlying nanoscale and interface effects. This book addresses these essential issues, presenting a fundamental, coherent, and current account at the theoretical and practical level of nanocrystalline and nanocomposite bulk materials and coatings. The subject is approached systematically, covering processing methods, key structural and mechanical properties, and a wealth of applications. This is a resource for graduate students studying nanomaterials science and nanotechnologies, as well as for researchers and practitioners in materials science and engineering."--Jacket.
