MECHANOCHEMISTRY OF SOLID SURFACES

by E M Gutman (Ben-Gurion University)

This book covers the fundamental relationships between solid surface chemical reactivity and the stressed state of surface layers, developed mainly by the author. Acceleration of chemical reactions by mechanical action (mechanochemical effect) and near-surface plasticity increase caused by chemical reactions (chemomechanical effect) acting simultaneously, open new possibilities for the control of a wide range of processes from corrosion to new materials engineering.

This monograph is a unique work on this subject and will be essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students engaged in studying surface phenomena in materials science, chemistry and chemical engineering, as well as for scientists and engineers in the industries where these phenomena are important.


Contents:

  • Introduction
  • Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Surface Chemical Reactions on Stressed Solids
  • Mechanochemical Activity of Solids with Structural Defects
  • Relationships between Local and Integral Mechanochemical Activity of Surfaces
  • Kinetics of Mechanochemical Effect in Solids with Dislocations
  • Chemomechanical Effect and Conjugate Mechanochemical Phenomena
  • Some Applications of Mechanochemical Phenomena
  • References


Readership: Scientists, engineers, postgraduates and undergraduates in materials science, chemistry and chemical engineering.
