Handbook of Modern Coating Technologies: Advanced Characterization Methods focuses on new aspects of surface engineering surrounding nanocoatings and biocoatings, from their fabrication methods to properties and usages. This five part volume explores the detection of surface features that destroy pieces and how most technological advancements are constrained with surface requirements. Subjects cover the production of new, advanced coatings and the characteristics of abrasion, corrosion, fatigue and disruption. Both electronic and optical electronic apparatuses are great examples to be studied.
