Introduction to Hybrid Materials

Recent technological breakthroughs and the desire for new functions generate an enormous demand for novel materials. Many of the well-established materials, such as metals, ceramics or plastics cannot fulfill all technological desires for the various new applications. Scientists and engineers realized early on that mixtures of materials can show superior properties compared with their pure coun...

Introduction to the International Medical Informatics Association

Member Societies can be a society, a group of societies, or an appropriate body, representing the health and biomedical informatics activities within a country. Generally, only one member society may be admitted from a country. For example , the American Medical Informatics Association is the member society representing the United States, and KOSMI is the member society representing Korea in th...

Introduction to Carbon Materials Research

A brief historical review of carbon nanotube research is presented and some basic definitions relevant to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes are provided. Carbon nanotubes are unique nanostructures that can be considered conceptually as a prototype one-dimensional (1D) quantum wire. The fundamental building block of carbon nanotubes is the very long all-carbon cylindrical Single W...
