Produktbeschreibung
Materials Kinetics: Transport and Rate Phenomena, Second Edition introduces readers to the essential principles that govern kinetic processes in materials science. By bridging foundational concepts with advanced computational methods, this book shows how physical-chemical laws drive phenomena such as diffusion and viscosity. Readers learn how these fundamental mechanisms shape the design and performance of materials, gaining insights applicable to metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. The text emphasizes the practical relevance of kinetics, equipping students and professionals with the skills needed to analyze and solve real-world materials design challenges. Beyond its comprehensive coverage of thermodynamics, Fick’s law, and phase separation kinetics, the book explores topics such as molecular dynamics, energy landscapes, and Monte Carlo simulation. New chapters delve into sintering, topological constraint theory, ab initio molecular dynamics, and both thermal and electrical conduction. Updated content includes expanded examples of multicomponent diffusion, grain boundary modeling, and applications of phase-field and diffuse interface theories.
Autorenporträt
Dr. John C. Mauro is Professor and Associate Head for Graduate Education in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. John earned a BS in Glass Engineering Science (2001), BA in Computer Science (2001), and PhD in Glass Science (2006), all from Alfred University. He joined Corning Incorporated in 1999 and served in multiple roles there, including Senior Research Manager of the Glass Research department. John holds more than 50 granted US patents and is the inventor or co-inventor of several new glasses for Corning, including Corning Gorilla® Glass products. John joined the faculty at Penn State in 2017 and is currently a world-recognized leader in fundamental and applied glass science, materials kinetics, computational and condensed matter physics, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and the topology of disordered networks. He is the author of over 280 peer-reviewed publications, Editor of the Journal of the American Ceramic Society, winner of numerous international awards, and a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society and the Society of Glass Technology. John is also co-author of Fundamentals of Inorganic Glasses, 3rd ed., Elsevier (2019).
