Surface chemistry has a major influence on the biocompatibility of materials, and applying a suitable coating can provide a cost-effective way to ensure the compatibility of medical devices and biomaterials without compromising their physical properties. Biocompatible coatings mimic naturally occurring coatings but may offer additional functionalities, such as lubrication, resistance to abrasion, or bacterial inhibition.This book explores various approaches to designing and develop...

Shortlisted for the Scottish Poetry Book of the Year 2021Longlisted for the Laurel Prize 2021A Telegraph Book of the Year 2020This Selected celebrates Scotland's most distinctive contemporary writer, a vivid minimalist, ruralist, and experimentalist.

A wide variety of applications ranging from microelectronics to turbines for propulsion and power generation rely on films, coatings, and multilayers to improve performance. As such, the ability to predict coating failure - such as delamination (debonding), mud-cracking, blistering, crack kinking, and the like - is critical to component design and development. This work compiles and organizes decades of research that established the theoretical foundation for predicting such failure mechan...

Black Skin, White Coats is a history of psychiatry in Nigeria from the 1950s to the 1980s.

Nanomaterials and nanocomposite materials have been developed as corrosion inhibitors and are the most noble and effective alternatives to traditional organic corrosion inhibitors. Nanomaterials provide reasonably high anticorrosive activity in both aqueous and solution phases. A unified approach to this task is lacking, however, which highlights the role of all disciplines involved in the creation and use of corrosion protection coatings for metals. Fouling is the process of accumulating ...
