This book explains various kinds of non-ionizing and high-energy radiations, their interaction with materials and chemical reactions, and conditions of various kinds of materials development technologies including applications. It covers a processing-structure-property relationship and radiations used in developing many advanced materials used in various fields. It highlights application-oriented materials synthesis and modification covering a wide variety of materials such as plastics, rubber, thermo-set, ceramics, and so forth by various radiations.
Features:
Explains ionizing and non-ionizing radiation-assisted materials development technologies, for polymers, ceramics, metals, and carbons
Covers radiation-assisted synthesis, processing, and modification of all kinds of materials
Provides comparative studies, merits, demerits, and applications very systematically
Criss-crosses polymers science and technology, radiation technology, advanced materials technology, biomaterials technology, and so forth
