Novel biological and chemical sensors made of stiff and light-weight boron-rich solids are very exciting and efficient for applications in medical diagnoses, environmental surveillance and the detection of pathogen and biological\/chemical terrorism agents. Ultra-high temperature ceramic composites exhibit excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance for hypersonic vehicle applications. Boron-rich solids are also promising candidates for high-temperature thermoelectric conversion. Armor is another very important application of boron-rich solids, since most of them exhibit very high hardness, which makes them perfect candidates with high resistance to ballistic impact. \nThe following topical areas are presented:\n•Boron-rich solids: science and technology\n•Synthesis and sintering strategies of boron rich solids\n•Microcantilever sensors\n•Screening of the possible boron-based thermoelectric conversion materials;\n•Ultra-high temperature ZrB2 and HfB2 based composites\n•Magnetic, transport and high-pressure properties of boron-rich solids\n•Restrictions of the sensor dimensions for chemical detection\n•Armor\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-10-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048198177\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-90-481-9818-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 330\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45605295718540,"sku":"9789048198177","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048198177.jpg?v=1779564637","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789048198177","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
