Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Diamond-based composites, with their advantages of hardness, high Young's modulus and the like, have demonstrated new and unusual features, such as stability to high temperatures and pressure shocks and a large internal surface that can be controlled to offer customised electrical, magnetic and optical properties, leading to efficient filters, absorbents, sensors and other tools for environmental control and monitoring. The current book covers the synthesis of materials, their characterization and properties, trends in high pressure and high temperature technologies, low pressure technologies, basic principles of DBC material science, and future developments in electronics, optics, industrial tools and components, biotechnology, and medicine. Wide band-gap materials are considered, ranging from molecular clusters, nanophase materials, growth, processing and synthesis. The processing of composite based materials can be classified into six basic methods: in situ growth, high pressure/high temperature catalytic conversion; mix and sinter (c-BN plus metal-ceramic polymer mix); direct sintering; direct polymorphic conversion; shock detonation; and SHS sintering. Book News Annotation:Contains papers from a June 1997 workshop on the state of the art in
the development of advanced composite materials using wide band gap
materials (diamond and cubic boron nitride) and potential
applications. Papers address problems of synthesis of materials and
their characterization and properties, with special attention paid to
trends in high pressure and high temperature technology, low pressure
technologies for synthesis of diamond-based composites, and
achievements in nanocomposite technology. Specific topics include
phase transition in C:N films under shock wave compression, open
circuit mobility measurements in DLC thin films, and copper
nanoclusters in DLC. No index.
