Solid-State NMRin MaterialsSciencePrinciples andApplicationsVladimir I. BakhmutovTexas A&M University, College Station, USA

Solid-state NMR is an extraordinarily powerfulmethod that is widely applied in materials chem-istry and is constantly being developed throughapplication of new techniques and approaches.Controlled design of new materials is the mostexciting area of modem materials science, and itsprogress requires constant application of newmethods. Although young scientists are familiarwith solution NMR, the solid-state version oftenremains a mystery. To help, this book describesexperimental problems in solid-state NMR, avoid-ing unnecessary theoretical detail. It covers amor-phous and diamagnetic materials, paramagneticeffects, the porous system, and much more.

Electrolytic In-ProcessDressing (ELID)TechnologiesFundamentals andApplicationsEdited by

Hitoshi Ohmori, Ioan D. Marinescu, and Kazutoshi KatahiraA complete review of Electorlytic-In-ProcessDressing (ELID) fundamentals and applications,this book explains what ELID is and how it hasdeveloped since the early 1990s in Japan. Theauthor covers the basic fundamentals of the tech-nology, as well as those of grinding types andmethods. These include lap-grinding, ELID hon-ing, ELID free-form grinding, ultra/nanoprecisionELID, and micro-ELID grinding. He examines howthis process improves the surface characteristicsof the processed piece, and why it is more effi-cient and productive than polishing and lapping.
