xxv, 459 p. : ill. ; 26 cm. "This book, the first dedicated to this exciting and rapidly growing field, enables readers to understand and prepare high-quality, high-performance TiNi shape memory alloys (SMAs). It covers the properties, preparation and characterization of TiNi SMAs, with particular focus on the latest technologies and applications in MEMS and biological devices. Basic techniques and theory are covered to introduce new-comers to the subject, whilst various sub-topics, such as film deposition, characterization, post treatment, and applying thin films to practical situations, appeal to more informed readers. Each chapter is written by expert authors, providing an overview of each topic and summarizing all the latest developments, making this an ideal reference for practitioners and researchers alike"--Provided by publisher specialized edited by Shuichi Miyazaki, Yong Qing Fu, Wei Min Huang Includes bibliographical references and index Shape memory alloys Thin film devices 9780521885768 (hardback) 0521885760 (hardback) http://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/85768/cover/9780521885768.jpg http://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/85768/cover/9780521885768.jpg UMP 100611 20251117150130.0 vtls000046219
