Modern Materials: Advances in Development and Applications, Volume 4 provides a comprehensive coverage of the developments, technical information, and utilization of new and improved materials. This volume covers the presentation of the properties and applications of materials required in moving parts. Chapters are devoted to the discussion of graphite, solid lubricants, plain bearings, high-strength, extra high-strength, and ultrahigh-strength steels, and the effects of radiation on materials. Materials engineers and engineers concerned with the building and design of mechanical equipments will find this book a valuable reference material.

Modern Materials, Volume 7: Advances in Development and Applications covers diverse subjects in the broad field of materials. The book discusses the manufacturing methods, physical properties, variation of properties through manufacturing controls, applications, and product standards and trade associations of the particleboard. The text also describes the basic principles, properties, applications of acoustical materials, materials produced by electrical charges, and pyrolytic graphite. The basic principles, properties, and applications of materials for temperature measurement and thermal insulation systems are also considered. Materials scientists and engineers will find the book useful.

Modern Materials: Advances in Development and Applications, Volume 5 provides comprehensive insight into the properties, applications, progress, and potentialities of various materials. This book is composed of four chapters, and begins with the presentation of the properties and application areas of coated refractory metals. The second chapter describes the special properties and utilization areas of hydrogen-precipitated powders and roll-compacted strip made from these metals and some of their related alloys. This chapter emphasizes the production processes of these materials. The third chapter deals first with a few general aspects of luminescence and phosphor synthesis, followed by significant discussions on the main fields of application of phosphors. The fourth chapter surveys concrete as an important construction material and its wide-array of application. This book is of great value to materials scientists and technologists.
