Novel biological and chemical sensors made of stiff and light-weight boron-rich solids are very exciting and efficient for applications in medical diagnoses, environmental surveillance and the detection of pathogen and biological\/chemical terrorism agents. Ultra-high temperature ceramic composites exhibit excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance for hypersonic vehicle applications. Boron-rich solids are also promising candidates for high-temperature thermoelectric conversion. Armor is another very important application of boron-rich solids, since most of them exhibit very high hardness, which makes them perfect candidates with high resistance to ballistic impact. The following topical areas are presented: -Boron-rich solids: science and technology -Synthesis and sintering strategies of boron rich solids -Microcantilever sensors -Screening of the possible boron-based thermoelectric conversion materials; -Ultra-high temperature ZrB2 and HfB2 based composites -Magnetic, transport and high-pressure properties of boron-rich solids -Restrictions of the sensor dimensions for chemical detection -Armor\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47603688669335,"sku":"9789048198238","price":22400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789048198238.webp?v=1775016920","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/boron-rich-solids-sensors-ultra-high-temperature-ceramics-thermoelectrics-armor-9789048198238","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
