Recently, the possibility of creating special alloys, inorganic and organic crystals, as well as biological (living) tissues in this condition has been investigated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFluids, Materials and Microgravity\u003c\/i\u003e provides a solid basis of established knowledge - through literature, fundamental studies, experimental methods, numerical (basic and sophisticated) techniques - as well as the latest in research advancements. Important for the prediction of material behaviour when exposed to the environment of space, this book explores the new knowledge provided by microgravity-based studies in producing unique inorganic, and organic materials on Earth (and in designing related new technological processes). A vital resource for any scientists interested in the understanding and modelling of the new important physical mechanisms disclosed by microgravity research, and in their possible effect on the production and behaviour of materials both in space and on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA vital resource for any scientists interested in the effect of microgravity on the production and behaviour of materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcello Lappa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 008044508X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780080445083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsevier Science\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.68h x 6.60w x 1.04d","brand":"Marcello Lappa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112805511423,"sku":"9780080445083","price":290.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d380913-937d-48c0-af3c-ec4618166291.jpg?v=1769611063","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fluids-materials-and-microgravity-marcello-lappa-9780080445083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
