Preface
This book acknowledges that the key to success of modern structural components is tailored behaviour of materials. A relatively inexpensive way of obtaining macroscopically desired responses is to enhance base material properties by addition of micro or nanoscopic matter, i.e. to manipulate the macrostructures. Accordingly, in many modern engineering designs, materials with high complex microstructures are now in use. The macroscopic characteristics of modified base materials are the aggressive change of an assemblage of different ‘pure’ components especially at nan
