Preface

In many demanding applications such as automotive or aerospace, common engineering materials reaching their limits and new developments are required to fulfill the increasing demands on performance, characteristics, and functions. The properties of materials can be increased, for example, by combining different materials to achieve better properties than a single constituent or by shaping the material or constituents into a specific structure. Many of these new materials reveal a much more complex behavior than traditional engineering materials due to their advanced structure or composition. The purpose of this book is to cover one of the important physical characteristics, that is thermal properties, in detail from different points of view. This book aims to provide readers not only with a good understanding of the fundamentals but also with an awareness of recent advances in properties determination and applications of multiphase materials. The book contains 14 chapters wr
