This book introduces to aspects to be considered when dealing with coatings and linings. Philip A. Schweitzer covers and compares a variety of specific coatings and their applications. In 18 chapters he divided the content into two main parts: linings and coatings.
All professionals involved in design and maintenance processes get by this book a compact survey of necessary considerations which needs to be done when applying surface protection measures. The literature references at the end of some chapters support the readers finding additional information about the special topic, mainly written by the author himself. Since this newly issued paperback edition is a 1:1 re‐print of the 2001 hardcover version, neither current publications are referenced, nor revisions were made.
This paperback issue of the 2007 hardcover version within the “Corrosion Engineering Handbook” series presents various materials and methods for controlling and protecting against corrosion instead of using expensive alloys to construct a tank or processing vessel.
This book is a very comprehensive collection of the current knowledge about applied linings and coatings. So, it fulfills its intension, “that regardless of what is being built, … information for … whoever is responsible for the selection of material of construction will be found in this book to enable them to avoid unnecessary loss of material through corrosion”, to a very large extent.
This book by Scrivener Publishing contains 14 chapters written by 82 leading scientists, experienced in the field of coatings. They demonstrate mechanisms, usage and manipulation of cutting‐edge coating methods. Each chapter is well structured and ends with a conclusion, highlighting the content. The book is divided into 3 parts: “Materials and Methods”, “Coating Materials Nanotechnology” and “Advanced Coating Technology and Applications”.
Finally, this book provides a comprehensive insight into innovative research in advanced coating materials and state‐of‐the‐art technologies, without being a real textbook. It fulfills its intension of being beneficial both for technicians and scientists.
This book grew out of a course on polymer coatings held by the author at the university. It shall serve as an introduction to the wide field of polymer coatings. It is not intended to cover completely all facts on polymer coatings.
All chapters are well structured. Selected figures and formulas illustrate the content and contribute to a good understandability. At the end of each chapter some hints for further reading are provided.
Finally, the book fulfills its intention to introduce into the topic by providing basics on science and technology of polymer coatings, suitable for chemists in industry, materials scientists, polymer chemists and physical chemists.
This concise reference book,consisting of 2 volumes, provides “key scientific and technical properties and data” for “materials scientists, metallurgists, engineers,chemists, and physicists as well as academic staff, technicians, and students” dealing with such kind of materials.
Within its 3rd edition the previous work was extended by a chapter on occupational health and safety issues of materials, beside of the update of whole content. Within 22 chapters materials properties and data are summarized in many tables. Some facts are illustrated by drawings and diagrams for better understandability. Each chapter ends with a part on further reading arranged accordingly.
This edition, published as first issue within the series “Corrosion Atlas”, provides 181 corrosion case studies, collected from 29 contributors.
These Corrosion Atlas Case Studies provide a helpful tool required for engineers in their daily life to quickly determine and solve their equipment's corrosion problems by compact theoretical background and vivid examples. It fulfills the intension of the editors to be “the first centralized collection of case studies containing challenges paired directly with solutions together in one location”.
Since data processing has now also found its way into materials science, there has been a great demand from users for a corresponding textbook. This book provides a guide to the latest advances of materials informatics and data mining for materials science. 46 authors introduce readers to methods, present tools and case studies to illustrate the power of materials informatics within this new field of application.
Finally it can be summarized that this book fulfills its intention of providing theoretical background and examples for practical applications of coatings used for corrosion protection.
It can be recommended to those being interested in coatings, serving as an overview on aspects which needs to be considered when working with such systems.
The second edition of this textbook on physical electrochemistry, written by two experienced teachers of physical chemistry, corrosion engineering and materials science and engineering, covers the current knowledge which should be transferred to students of these fields.
In 20 chapters the fundamentals of electrochemistry, the most important electrochemical measurement techniques and applications of electrochemistry are covered.
It can be concluded that this study fulfills its intension of “serving as a key textbook in undergraduate courses” dealing with electrochemistry and being “a reference source for graduated students, researchers and engineers” interested in this field. Teachers will find sufficient content for preparing lectures on this topic. Even self‐learning is well supported by the clear structure, presented content and provided sources for further reading.
In 2019 CRC Press published the “Concrete Repair to EN 1504” as paperback. This issue does not differ in terms of content from the hardback publication of 2014. Like the previous version, the book covers both detailed background information on repair procedures of reinforced concrete structures and provides a reference work for technicians and people who are involved with the maintenance of these structures, according to EN 1504.
The book presents a high number of figures and tables, i.e., approximately one illustration per page.
For readers who prefer a more comfortable to handle paperback, the book is recommended; however, the hardback from 2014 is still up‐to‐date.
