At last the book is finished – and I have now been asked to put my mind to the Preface! It occurs to me that writing a Preface is a unique art form. Admittedly, after limited research into Preface-writing, I propose, like innumerable authors before me, to start with the usual whinge – yes, to paraphrase Mrs Beeton from the Preface of her famous cookbook, if we had known ‘. . . what courageous efforts were needed to be made’, I am quite sure that we would never have started this enterprise. However, it is clear that one of the sensible reasons for co-authorship is that it has, at least, halved the agony for each of us.

In a sense, our book could be considered a kind of ‘cook-book’ – a cook-book for any reader who is interested in image processing and microscopy as a means to a materials science research end. Over the past two years, the original form of the book, as previously discussed with Patricia Morrison in 1999, has changed dramatically, but we hope, for the better. We have tried to minimise the mathematics that underpins these topics, and have concentrated on the practical issues (and pitfalls) one comes across when acquiring and analysing image data using various microscopic and tomographic measurement techniques. We have also made a real effort to expunge all spelling and grammatical faux pas and believe that, scientifically, the equations are correct and the conclusions presented (such as they are) are sound. In view of the speed of evolution in microscopic measurement techniques, this book can only hope to be a snapshot of the current situation and we suggest that readers follow the latest research articles in journals like the Royal Microscopical Society’s Journal of Microscopy to keep abreast of future developments. Also, you might like to keep checking our Department of Physics and Astronomy website here at the University of Leeds to see our latest 3D reconstructions.

Microengineering and Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have very few watertight definitions regarding their subjects and technologies. Microengineering can be described as the techniques, technologies, and practices involved in the realization of structures and devices with dimensions on the order of micrometers. MEMS often refer to mechanical devices with dimensions on the order of micrometers fabricated using techniques originating in the integrated circuit (IC) industry, with emphasis on silicon-based structures and integrated microelectronic circuitry. However, the term is now used to refer to a much wider range of microengineered devices and technologies.

There are other terms in common use that cover the same subject with slightly different emphasis. Microsystems technology (MST) is a term that is commonly used in Europe. The emphasis tends towards the development of systems, and the use of different technologies to fabricate components that are then combined into a system or device is more of a feature of MST than MEMS, where the emphasis tends towards silicon technologies.

Microstructures, electronics, nanotechnology - these vast fields of research are growing together as the size gap narrows and many different materials are combined. Current research, engineering sucesses and newly commercialized products hint at the immense innovative potentials and future applications that open up once mankind controls shape and function from the atomic level right up to the visible world without any gaps.

In this volume, authors from three major competence centres for microengineering illustrate step by step the process from designing and simulating microcomponents of metallic and ceramic materials to replicating micro-scale components by injection molding.

The gateway to the micro and nano worlds: AMN provides cutting-edge reviews and detailed case studies by top authors from science and industry, covering technologies, devices and advanced systems. Together, these have an immense innovative application potential that opens up with control of shape and function from the atomic level right up to the visible world without any technological gaps.

This and the following volume cover all angles of micro-scale parts and components engineering from both metallic and ceramic materials, a very promising field which is a strong source of innovation and development for micro process technology, aerospace applications, sensors, actors, medical and dental as well as many other applications.

In this volume, readers are introduced to this field and led from the design and modeling aspects to tooling, molds, and micro injection molding as a powerful replication technology.

Part II covers casting and forming techniques, automation, quality assurance, and component properties.

Perhaps it would be simplest to begin by stating the ways in which this new edition, the fourth under the aegis of the present editor, has not been changed. It remains the one-volume source of factual information for chemists, both professionals and students—the first place in which to “look it up” on the spot. The aim is to provide sufficient data to satisfy all one’s general needs without recourse to other reference sources. Even the worker with the facilities of a comprehensive library will find this volume of value as a time-saverbecause of the many tables of numerical data which have been especially compiled.

The changes, however, are both numerous and significant. First of all, there is a change in the organization of the subject matter. For example, material formerly contained in the section entitled Analytical Chemistry is now grouped by operational categories: spectroscopy; electrolytes, electromotive force, and chemical equilibrium; and practical laboratory information. Polymers, rubbers, fats, oils, and waxes constitute a large independent section.

Heterogeneous catalysis is a fascinating and complex subject of utmost importance in the present day. Its immense technological and economical importance and the inherent complexity of the catalytic phenomena have stimulated theoretical and experimental studies by a broad spectrum of scientists, including chemists, physicists, chemical engineers, and material scientists. Computational and theoretical techniques are now having a major impact in this field. This book aims to illustrate and discuss the subject of heterogeneous catalysis and to show the current capabilities of the theoretical and computational methods for studying the various steps (diffusion, adsorption, chemical reaction) of heterogeneous catalytic process involving zeolites, metal oxides, and transition metal surfaces. The book covers: a. the use of techniques of computational chemistry to simulate zeolites, metallic and bimetallic surfaces, and oxide-supported metals; b. the impact of simulation methods on the understanding of the diffusion and adsorption of molecules and cations within the pores of zeolites, and also on the adsorption of molecules on metal and metal-oxide surfaces; and c. the applications of quantum-mechanical methods to the study of the reaction mechanism and pathways of the adsorbed molecules. This book is recommended primarily to scientists and graduate students conducting research in the fields of heterogeneous catalysis and surface science. It will also be valuable to advanced undergraduate students wishing to become acquainted with the latest developments in these exciting fields of research, and to experimentalists seeking theoretical support for interpreting their results.

"...the interested and casual reader [are] immediately updated on cuttingedge research in the exciting field of surface and colloid science." -- Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2000

Prof. Borowko has compiled a volume focusing on computational methods applied to surface and colloid science....We have to praise her ability to put together such a large amount of high-quality articles, which begin with a discussion of the fundamentals ideas, followed by a digestible, though complete mathematical description of the models, and end with simple to more advanced applications. This book is a must for any practitioner in surface science....The way the articles are written allows the interested and casual reader to be immediately updated on cutting-edge research in the exciting field of surface and colloid science.
---Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2000

This volume presents computer simulation methods and mathematical modelling of physical processes used in surface science research. It offers in-depth analysis of advanced theoretical approaches to behaviours of fluids in contact with porous, semiporous and nonporous solid surfaces. The book also explores interfacial systems for a wide variety of phenomena, including: absorption, flotation, osmosis, and colloidal stability.

For all rotational machines, the analysis of dynamic stresses and the resulting vibrations is an important subject. When it comes to helicopters and piston engines, this analysis becomes crucial. From the design of parts working under stress to the reduction of the vibration levels, the success of a project lies mainly in the hands of the dynamicists.

The authors have combined their talents and experience to provide a complete presentation on the issues involved. Part one describes, in concrete terms, the main dynamic phenomena and how they can be observed in reality. Part two presents information about the modeling methods required to understand the dynamic phenomena and develop solutions capable of eliminating the most serious effects.
