Concise Encyclopedia Of The Chemical Properties Of Materials Hardcover

The Concise Encyclopedia of the Chemical Properties of Materials offers a curated selection of articles from the highly regarded Encyclopedia of Materials Science and Technology (EMSAT), including updates and revisions not found in the original edition. This volume focuses on the chemical properties covered in EMSAT, with topics such as production and refining processes, primarily for metals but also including polymerization processes, as well as the thermodynamics and kinetics of phase equilibria, electrochemical reactions, and gas-solid reactions. A significant portion of the content addresses oxidation and corrosion, especially in metallic systems, exploring the kinetics, thermodynamics, and mechanisms, including stress corrosion. The collection includes 114 articles covering the chemical behavior of various materials, with a focus on metals, alloys, polymers, and non-oxide ceramics, and features topics like chemically modified wood and corrosion protection.
