This book draws on the latest research to discuss the history and development of high-entropy alloys and ceramics in bulk, film, and fiber form. High-entropy materials have recently been developed using the entropy of mixing and entropy of configuration of materials, and have proven to exhibit unique properties superior to those of conventional materials. The field of high-entropy alloys was born in 2004, and has since been developed for both scientific and engineering applications. Although there is extensive literature, this field is rapidly transforming. This book highlights the cutting edge of high-entropy materials, including their fundamentals and applications. Above all, it reflects two major milestones in their development: the equi-atomic ratio single-phase high-entropy alloys; and the non-equi-atomic ratio dual-phase high-entropy alloys.

High Entropy Materials covers the fundamental concepts of these materials and their emerging applications. To fulfil growing energy demand, scientists are looking for novel materials which can be used for the fabrication of high-performance energy devices. Many materials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and metal oxides are used in energy production and storage. A new class of metal oxides, multicomponent metal oxides, known as high entropy materials, have attracted considerable attention not only for their energy applications but also other emerging applications such as use in sensors, catalysts, and CO2 absorption. Key Features: Reviews state-of-the-art developments Provides new directions to scientists, researchers, and students to better understand the principles, technologies, and applications of high entropy materials Discusses ongoing challenges and visions for the future

Significant update of knowledge in the field of high-entropy materials, including promising new high-entropy ceramics High-Entropy Materials provides information on state-of-the-art development in the field of high-entropy materials, including high-entropy alloys, high-entropy ceramics, and a variety of their applications, covering many core topics to provide a thorough and detailed overview of the subject. The book also thoroughly explores the applications of high-entropy materials in various areas, such as EBC/TBC coating, superhard and wear resistance coating, nuclear energy, batteries, catalysts, thermoelectric, supercapacitors, biocompatible structure, and microelectronics. In High-Entropy Materials, readers can expect to find specific information on: Basics of high entropy materials, structural features and thermodynamics of high-entropy materials, and theoretical design in high-entropy materials Synthesis and processing of high-entropy materials and characterization of high-entropy materials, as well as their mechanical and functional properties Challenges and future directions of high-entropy materials, a relatively new type of material that has been in development only since the early 2000s How high-entropy materials are a horizon-broadening class of materials that can significantly further humanity’s pursuit of progress Focusing on the fundamentals and developments of high-entropy alloys and ceramics as well as on their microstructure and properties for a wide range of applications, High-Entropy Materials is an essential resource on the subject for materials scientists, metallurgists, mechanical engineers, and professionals in the aerospace industries.

This book provides a detailed overview of high entropy materials and alloys, discussing their structure, the processing of bulk and nanostructured alloys as well as their mechanical and functional properties and applications. It covers the exponential growth in research which has occurred over the last decade, discussing novel processing techniques, estimation of mechanical, functional and physical properties, and utility of these novel materials for various applications. Given the expanding scope of HEAs in ceramics, polymers, thin films and coating, this book will be of interest to material scientists and engineers alike.

This book discusses fundamental studies involving the history, modelling, simulation, experimental work, and applications on high-entropy materials. Topics include data-driven and machine-learning approaches, additive-manufacturing techniques, computational and analytical methods, such as density functional theory and multifractal analysis, mechanical behavior, high-throughput methods, and irradiation effects. The types of high-entropy materials consist of alloys, oxides, and ceramics. The book then concludes with a discussion on potential future applications of these novel materials.

High-entropy materials, ultra-strong molecules, and nanoelectronics have become a focus of active research because of their unique potential and applications. Global research is rapidly accelerating and unlocking major recent breakthroughs. It is important to highlight these recent developments and explore possibilities for future research and applications. The National Academies convened a workshop on February 10-11, 2016 to discuss issues in defense materials, manufacturing, and infrastructure. Key topics of discussion included emerging capabilities and research objectives for ultra-strong molecules, high-entropy materials, and nanoelectronics. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

This book provides a thorough introduction to the essential topics in modern materials science. It brings together the spectrum of materials science topics, spanning inorganic and organic materials, nanomaterials, biomaterials, and alloys within a single cohesive and comprehensive resource. Synthesis and processing techniques, structural and crystallographic configurations, properties, classifications, process mechanisms, applications, and related numerical problems are discussed in each chapter. End-of-chapter summaries and problems are included to deepen and reinforce the reader's comprehension. Provides a cohesive and comprehensive reference on a wide range of materials and processes in modern materials science; Presents material in an engaging manner to encourage innovative practices and perspectives; Includes chapter summaries and problems at the end of every chapter for reinforcement of concepts.
