This book discusses liquid metals used in various manufacturing processes in the aerospace and automobile industries. It provides important original and theoretical experimental results on the use of non-routine technologies. It also presents novel applications of more familiar experimental techniques and analyses of composites. Topics covered include the importance of liquid metals, friction stir welding to improve aluminium alloys, adhesion phenomenon of liquid metals, secondary aluminium used for producing products, and more.

Dielectric liquids are used as impregnates of solid insulations or filling products in many kinds of equipment, such as transformers (power, rectifier, distribution, traction, furnace, potential, current), resistors, reactors, capacitors, cables, bushings, circuit breakers, tap changers, and thyristor cooling in power electronics, et cetera Their role is paramount in the sense that their presence is one of the fundamental conditions for the proper functioning of such equipment. Similar to blood in the human body, dielectric liquids hold the responsibility of maintaining the entire equipment. The greatest challenges for engineers/maintenance planners are related to the need for methods to assess the condition of the liquid, along with how to improve equipment efficiency using chemical admixtures. The demand for environmentally friendly dielectric liquids is also rising as the environmental concerns about conventional petroleum-based fluids become increasingly more apparent. This book covers some theoretical and practical concerns related to the applications of dielectric liquids in electrical equipment. Understanding the fundamental theoretical phenomena is, therefore, important for properly designing practical liquid-filled power equipment and hardware. Graduate-level students and teachers, as well as scientists and engineers involved in power equipment design, diagnostics, and monitoring, will appreciate this systematic approach to the subject.

Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) materials are of interest both for their potential in display technology and the fascinating science found in liquid crystals confined to small cavities. Liquid Crystal Dispersions is a comprehensive overview of the science and technology of this new class of materials. Topics covered include formation of PDLC devices, a catalog of droplet structures and transformations, device electro-optical properties, and applications. Liquid Crystal Dispersions will be of value to the nonspecialists keen on gaining an overview of this new field, as well as to specialists interested in a comprehensive review of work in this area.

The book intends to give a state-of-the-art overview of flexoelectricity, a linear physical coupling between mechanical (orientational) deformations and electric polarization, which is specific to systems with orientational order, such as liquid crystals.Chapters written by experts in the field shed light on theoretical as well as experimental aspects of research carried out since the discovery of flexoelectricity. Besides a common macroscopic (continuum) description the microscopic theory of flexoelectricity is also addressed. Electro-optic effects due to or modified by flexoelectricity as we
