This book addresses the challenges of using metallic biomaterials in implants. It delves into the selection process for these materials, considering factors like mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and resistance to wear and tear. However, the primary focus is on understanding and combating corrosion. Different types of corrosions are explored, highlighting their mechanisms and potential consequences. Existing research on surface modification techniques is reviewed, offering methods to improve the longevity and safety of implants. The book then introduces the exciting world of additive manufacturing (AM), a revolutionary technique for creating implants. It explores various AM technologies and their suitability for creating biomaterials (metallic’s, ceramics and polymers). Subsequently, the diverse applications of AM in biomaterials and biomedical devices are explored. The book explores various post-processing methods used to refine parts created with AM. These methods not only improve the surface finish but can also enhance the overall properties of the implant. By analyzing existing research and exploring innovative techniques, this book aims to equip researchers and professionals with the knowledge to develop better metallic biomaterials. Ultimately, the goal is to create implants that last longer, function flawlessly, and offer a safer and more durable solution for patients.

The book introduces modern atomistic techniques for predicting heat transfer in nanostructures, and discusses the applications of these techniques on three modern topics. The study of;with low thermal conductivity in their bulk form represents the knowledge base needed for engineering thermal transport in advanced thermoelectric and electronic materials, and suggests a new route to lower thermal conductivity that could promote thermoelectricity. The study of high-temperature coating composite materials facilitates the understanding of the role played by composition and structural characterization, which is difficult to approach via experiments. And;, such as bending and collapsing on thermal transport along carbon nanotubes, is important as carbon nanotubes, due to their exceptional thermal and mechanical properties, are excellent material candidates in a variety of applications, including thermal interface materials, thermal switches and composite materials.

presents an up-to-date summary of the details of the confined to unconfined flow boiling transition criteria, flow boiling heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics, instability characteristics, two phase flow pattern and flow regime map and the parametric study of microgap dimension. Advantages of flow boiling in microgaps over microchannels are also highlighted. The objective of this Brief is to obtain a better fundamental understanding of the flow boiling processes, compare the performance between microgap and conventional microchannel heat sinks, and evaluate the microgap heat sink for instabilities and hotspot mitigation.
