The area of tribology deals with the design, friction, wear and lubrication of interacting surfaces in relative motion. Polymer nanocomposite materials are increasingly common and offer remarkable improvements in the friction and wear properties of both bulk materials and coatings.This book gives a comprehensive description of polymeric nanocomposites, both as bulk materials and as thin surface coatings, and their behavior and potential use in tribological applications. It provides the preparation techniques, friction and wear mechanisms, properties of polymeric nanocomposites, characterization, evaluation and selection methodology. It also provides various examples of application of polymeric nanocomposites.- Provides a complete reference from the preparation to the selection of polymeric nanocomposites- Explains the theory through examples of real-world applications- More than 20 international tribology experts contribute to their area of expertise

Structure and Properties of Additive Manufactured Polymer Components provides a state-of-the-art review from leading experts in the field who discuss key developments that have appeared over the last decade or so regarding the use of additive manufacturing (AM) methods in the production of neat and reinforced polymeric components. A major focus is given to materials science aspects, i.e., how the quality of the polymer preforms, the parameters of the chosen AM method, and how these factors can affect the microstructure and properties of the final product.

The book not only covers production technologies and the relationship between processing, microstructure and fundamental properties of the produced parts, but also gives readers ideas on the use of AM polymer parts in medicine, automotive, aerospace, tribology, electronics, and more.

Focuses on industrial aspects and applications Dedicated purely to recent advances in polymer composite additive manufacturing Emphasizes processing, structure and property relationships

The use of polymer composites in various engineering applications has become state of the art. This multi-author volume provides a useful summary of updated knowledge on polymer composites in general, practically integrating experimental studies, theoretical analyses and computational modeling at different scales, i. e. , from nano- to macroscale. Detailed consideration is given to four major areas: structure and properties of polymer nanocomposites, characterization and modeling, processing and application of macrocomposites, and mechanical performance of macrocomposites. The idea to organize this volume arose from a very impressive workshop - The First International Workshop on Polymers and Composites at IVW Kaiserslautern: Invited Humboldt-Fellows and Distinguished Scientists, which was held on May 22-24,2003 at the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany. The contributing authors were invited to incorporate updated knowledge and developments into their individual chapters within a year after the workshop, which finally led to these excellent contributions. The success of this workshop was mainly sponsored by the German Alexander von Humboldt Foundation through a Sofia Kovalevskaja Award Program, financed by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research within the "Investment in the Future Program" of the German Government. In 2001, the Humboldt Foundation launched this new award program in order to offer outstanding young researchers throughout the world an opportunity to establish their own work-groups and to develop innovative research concepts virtually in Germany.

Providing a useful summary of current knowledge on the friction and wear properties of composite materials, this book fills the gap between publications on fundamental principles of tribology and those on the friction and wear behavior of metals and polymers. Detailed coverage is given of: the fundamental aspects of tribology in general and polymer composites in particular; the effects of the microstructure of composites on friction and wear behavior under different external loading conditions; and the problem of the control of friction and wear behavior in practical situations. Although emphasis is on polymer composites associated with bearing-type applications, part of the book is also devoted to the friction and wear of metal-based composites and rubber compounds. The data are represented in the form of 277 figures, diagrams and photographs, and 68 tables. The author index covers more than 670 references, and the subject index more than 1,000 keywords.The book will be of particular interest to: those involved in research on some aspects of polymer composites tribology (material scientists, physical chemists, mechanical engineers); those wishing to learn more methods for solving practical friction or wear problems (designers, engineers and technologists in industries, dealing with selection, reprocessing and application of polymer engineering materials); and teachers and students at universities.

Die Dynamik des Alterns von Individuen und Gesellschaften erfährt vor dem Hintergrund des demographischen Wandels in Verbindung mit kontinuierlich steigender Lebenserwartung breite Aufmerksamkeit in Fachkreisen und in der Öffentlichkeit. Klaus Friedrich untersucht aus sozialgeographischer Sicht sowohl das Alter als Lebensphase als auch den lebenslangen Prozess des Alterns. In handlungszentrierter Perspektive wird die Bedeutung kontextueller Einflüsse – sowohl räumlicher als auch sozialer Umwelten – für das Verständnis der raumbezogenen Interaktionsmuster älterer Akteure behandelt. Nach Vorstellung der zentralen theoretischen Entwicklungslinien der geographischen Alternsforschung und Umweltgerontologie führt der Autor die Wissensbestände zum Wandel der Lebenssituation und der räumlichen Bezüge der Zielgruppe vorrangig für Deutschland zusammen und konfrontiert sie mit aktuellen Befunden. Er analysiert unter anderem die Verteilungsmuster und Wohnpräferenzen älterer Menschen, ihre unterschiedlichen Lebenslagen, ihre finanziellen und gesundheitlichen Ressourcen, ihre außerhäuslichen Aktivitäten, die Motive residentieller Mobilität und transnationaler Ruhesitzmigration, den Stellenwert interpretativer Raumaneignung sowie die Rolle der Babyboomer beim Übergang in den Ruhestand.
