Abstract:
This special collection provides up-to-date knowledge concerning the field of functional materials such as shape memory alloys, piezoelectric ceramics and aluminium alloys. The articles therein also deal with recent investigations of quasicrystals and geopolymers: two classes of hybrid material that have attracted great scientific interest, given their unusual properties and potential engineering applications.In the first part, the papers address key issues concerning the application of two classes of functional alloy: (i) NiTi alloys, having important applications in the fields of smart structures and bioengineering; and (ii) CuAlBe alloys, as applied to non-welded pipe joints. In both classes, the papers focus upon industrial-scale examples associated with two classical metallurgical processes (electron-beam and conventional melting techniques).In the second part, three articles deal with two hybrid materials: quasicrystals and geopolymers. The former is a class of hybrid material in which a metallic alloy exhibits ceramic properties, such as low thermal and electrical conductivities and a very low frictional coefficient. The latter is a class of inorganic polymers produced from raw material originating from industrial by-products of, for example, the thermoelectric and steel industries.This work provides a handy guide to these rather specialized topics.
