Description for Boron Rich Solids
Paperback. New biological and chemical sensors made of stiff and light-weight boron-rich solids have exciting applications in medical diagnoses, environmental surveillance and the detection of pathogen and biological/chemical terrorism agents. This book covers the field. Editor(s): Orlovskaya, Nina; Lugovy, Mykola. Series: NATO Science for Peace and Security Series B: Physics and Biophysics. Num Pages: 330 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHFC; PNT; TDCQ; TGMT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 18. Weight in Grams: 492.
The objective of this book is to discuss the current status of research and development of boron-rich solids as sensors, ultra-high temperature ceramics, thermoelectrics, and armor. 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, ... Read more
