Publisher's Synopsis
This is an attempt to bring the latest research in both nanophase materials and microlaminates together in one volume. As scale of microstructure is decreased, material properties become more dependent upon the physical structure and properties of the interphase boundaries, eg grain boundaries microcomposite and microlaminated materials. Thus, the properties of microcomposites and microlaminated materials are expected to behave in a similar fashion to the nanocrystalline materials as the scale of the microstructure approaches the nanometer size.
