Liquid Metals (Lei Fu)

An up-to-date exploration of the properties and most recent applications of liquid metals
 
In Liquid Metal: Properties, Mechanisms, and Applications, a pair of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive exploration of liquid metals with a strong focus on their structure and physicochemical properties, preparation methods, and tuning strategies. The book also illustrates the applications of liquid metals in fields as varied as mediated synthesis, 3D printing, flexible electronics, biomedicine, energy storage, and energy conversion.
 
The authors include coverage of reactive mediums for synthesizing and assembling nanomaterials and direct-writing electronics, and the book offers access to supplementary video materials to highlight the concepts discussed within. Recent advancements in the field of liquid metals are also discussed, as are new opportunities for research and development in this rapidly developing area.
 
The book also includes:
 
* A thorough introduction to the fundamentals of liquid metal, including a history of its discovery, its structure and physical properties, and its preparation
* Comprehensive explorations of the external field tuning of liquid metal, including electrical, magnetic, and chemical tuning
* Practical discussions of liquid metal as a new reaction medium, including nanomaterial synthesis and alloy preparation
* In-depth examinations of constructing techniques of liquid metal-based architectures, including injection, imprinting, and mask-assisted depositing
 
Perfect for materials scientists, electrochemists, and catalytic chemists, Liquid Metal: Properties, Mechanisms, and Applications also belongs in the libraries of inorganic chemists, electronics engineers, and biochemists.
