Riassunto

This exhaustive work in three volumes with featuring cross-reference system provides a thorough overview of ultra-high temperature materials – from elements and chemical compounds to alloys and composites. Topics included are physical (crystallographic, thermodynamic, thermo-physical, electrical, optical, physico-mechanical, nuclear) and chemical (solid-state diffusion, interaction with chemical elements and compounds, interaction with gases, vapours and aqueous solutions) properties of the individual physico-chemical phases and multi-phase materials with melting (or sublimation) points over or about 2500 °C. The first volume focuses on carbon (graphite/graphene) and refractory metals (W, Re, Os, Ta, Mo, Nb, Ir). The second and third volumes are dedicated solely to refractory (ceramic) compounds (oxides, nitrides, carbides, borides, silicides) and to the complex materials – refractory alloys, carbon and ceramic composites, respectively. It will be of interest to researchers, engineers, postgraduate, graduate and undergraduate students in various disciplines alike. The reader is provided with the full qualitative and quantitative assessment for the materials, which could be applied in various engineering devices and environmental conditions at ultra-high temperatures, on the basis of the latest updates in the field of physics, chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology and engineering.

L'autore:

During his professional career Igor L. Shabalin has gained over 40 years experience in ultra-high temperature materials design, science and engineering. He was born in the Republic of Russia, graduated in Technology of Rare Earth Metals and received his MSc and PhD from the Ural Polytechnic University (UPI), Yekaterinburg (former – Sverdlovsk), Russia. He has held academic positions at the UPI and was the founder of the Special Research Laboratory for Aerospace Industry (ONIL-123). As a head of the laboratory and member of several scientific councils, he established collaboration between universities and industry by running a variety of R&D projects and was involved in the management of some world leading programs in rocketry and spacecraft development in the USSR Ministry of Aerospace Industry (MOM). In 2003 Professor Shabalin immigrated to the UK, and joined the University of Salford, Manchester, as a researcher in Materials in 2005. He has published some 250 scientific and technical papers and holds more than 40 patents. His research focuses mainly on high and ultra-high temperature hetero-modulus ceramic composites with graphene-like (carbon and boron nitride) constituents.
