A. K. Tyagi - Handbook on Synthesis Strategies for Advanced Materials: Volume-III: Materials Specific Synthesis Strategies

The study of metallurgy and materials science is vital for developing advanced materials for diverse applications. In the last decade, the progress in this field has been rapid and extensive, giving us a new array of materials, with a wide range of applications, and a variety of possibilities for processing and characterizing the materials. In order to make this growing volume of knowledge available, an initiative to publish a series of books in Metallurgy and Materials Science was taken during the Diamond Jubilee year of the Indian Institute of Metals (IIM) in the year 2006. Ten years later the series is now published in partnership with Springer.

This book series publishes different categories of publications: textbooks to satisfy the requirements of students and beginners in the field, monographs on select topics by experts in the field, professional books to cater to the needs of practicing engineers, and proceedings of select international conferences organized by IIM after mandatory peer review. The series publishes across all areas of materials sciences and metallurgy. An eminent panel of international and national experts acts as the advisory body in overseeing the selection of topics, important areas to be covered, and the selection of contributing authors.

The Indian Institute of Metals Series is an institutional partnership series focusing on metallurgy and materials sciences.

The Indian Institute of Metals (IIM) is a premier professional body (since 1947) representing an eminent and dynamic group of metallurgists and materials scientists from R&D institutions, academia, and industry mostly from India. It is a registered professional institute with the primary objective of promoting and advancing the study and practice of the science and technology of metals, alloys, and novel materials. The institute is actively engaged in promoting academiaresearch and instituteindustry interactions.

The study of metallurgy and materials science is vital for developing advanced materials for diverse applications. In the last decade, the progress in this field has been rapid and extensive, giving us a new array of materials, with a wide range of applications and a variety of possibilities for processing and characterizing the materials. In order to make this growing volume of knowledge available, an initiative to publish a series of books in metallurgy and materials science was taken during the Diamond Jubilee year of the Indian Institute of Metals (IIM) in the year 2006. IIM entered into a partnership with Universities Press, Hyderabad, and as part of the IIM book series, 11 books were published, and a number of these have been co-published by CRC Press, USA. The books were authored by eminent professionals in academia, industry, and R&D with outstanding background in their respective domains, thus generating unique resources of validated expertise of interest in metallurgy. The international character of the authors and editors has enabled the books to command national and global readership. This book series includes different categories of publications: textbooks to satisfy the requirements of undergraduates and beginners in the field, monographs on select topics by experts in the field, and proceedings of select international conferences organized by IIM after mandatory peer review. An eminent panel of international and national experts constitutes the advisory body in overseeing the selection of topics, important areas to be covered, in the books and the selection of contributing authors.
