Chemistry and Materials Science

This book introduces characterizations of hyperordered structures using latest quantum beam technologies, the advanced theoretical methods for understanding the roles of the structures, and the state-of-the-arts materials containing the structures. 

In this book, the authors focus on the importance of defect complexes to improve functionality of crystals and that of orders of network structures to improve functionality of glass materials. These features can be regarded as interphases between perfect crystals and perfect amorphous, and they are the key factor for the evolution of materials science to a new dimension. The authors call such interphases "hyperordered structures" in this book. 

This is the first book that comprehensively summarizes glass science, defect science, and quantum beam science. It is valuable not only for active researchers in industry and academia but also graduate students.

This book includes the select proceedings of the International Conference on Composites: Design, Processing, Manufacturing and Health Monitoring (CDPMHM 2024). It covers latest research in designing, processing, manufacturing and health monitoring techniques for composite materials and structures. The topics covered in this book are additive manufacturing, design against fatigue crack growth and fracture, composites for bio-medical applications, electrical vehicles, space and aero-space applications and many more. The book is a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in composite material and structure allied fields.
