This book explains the formation of biofilm on materials surfaces in an industrial setting. The authors describe new developments in understanding of biofilm formation, detection, and control from the viewpoint of materials science and engineering. The book details the range of issues caused by biofilm formation and the variety of affected industries.

This book combines information communication technology (ICT) with the creative interdisciplinary teaching approach known as STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). It introduces STEM and Creative Education and shows (through examples and creative activities) the importance and impact that ICT has for STEM and modern education. The book describes the audio visual classroom, the use of the Internet, Social Networking and STEM and provides STEM lessons for both the real and virtual worlds.Instructors will find this unique textbook to be very useful with students, of various ages, in creative education and engineering classes. This special book offers something for everyone. It serves as a guide for teachers in charge of science fairs and creative classes, especially those which require STEM education. It also includes activities to help develop creative thinking and problem-solving skills and prepares students who plan to become teachers and mentors of the future. Readers in general can simultaneously enjoy and learn about ICT’s impact on STEM and modern education. In addition, e-learning designers and administrators who want to introduce e-learning systems into their organizations can refer to this book as a reference and a resource. The book complements most e-learning and ICT education books which generally focus too much on technical issues.

This book deals with the surface finishing for corrosion prevention fromthe viewpoint of environmental friendliness. Surface finishing for metallic materialsor by metallic materials has excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance andgood color tones, which have been useful for practical applications so far. However,environmental friendliness and user friendliness have become important factors forpractical use since the turn of the century. Surface Finishing Industries are nowfacing a serious crossroad to continue sustainable developments in the future. Sadly,the concept of environmental friendliness is very new, because from the beginningof this discipline (surface finishing), not many people considered the environmentaleffects so seriously, but sought mainly for the functions, performance, characteristics,and economic profits. Since the biological evaluation processes are very advancedand still debated, this book is very unique and advanced. This book aims to letuniversity students know and learn the concept of environmental friendliness andits relation to surface treatment products based on the fundamental knowledge aboutconventional corrosion control and surface finishing. The textbook will be usedmost effectively with subjects such as surface science, surface engineering, mechanicalmaterials, etc. for those studying mechanical engineering, materials engineeringand chemical engineering. It is also applicable to practical engineers and researchersin the industrial world as well as the academic one. Throughout this book, readerslearn and appreciate the environmentally friendly approaches that are presentedfor corrosion control and surface finishing.
