Description for Self Healing Materials
Hardback. Presents a picture of the design principles and resulting properties of self healing materials over all material classes, and to offset them to the different design principles for structural materials with improved mechanical properties. This book describes a separate approach or a different aspect of self healing materials. Editor(s): Zwaag, Sybrand van der. Series: Springer Series in Materials Science. Num Pages: 400 pages, biography. BIC Classification: TBX; TGM. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 241 x 163 x 28. Weight in Grams: 726.
