The definitive resource for electroplating, now completely up to date

With advances in information-age technologies, the field of electroplating has seen dramatic growth in the decade since the previous edition of Modern Electroplating was published. This expanded new edition addresses these developments, providing a comprehensive, one-stop reference to the latest methods and applications of electroplating of metals, alloys, semiconductors, and conductive polymers.

With special emphasis on electroplating and electrochemical plating in nanotechnologies, data storage, and...

The comprehensive, accessible introduction to fuel cells, their applications, and the challenges they pose

Fuel cells--electrochemical energy devices that produce electricity and heat--present a significant opportunity for cleaner, easier, and more practical energy. However, the excitement over fuel cells within the research community has led to such rapid innovation and development that it can be difficult for those not intimately familiar with the science involved to figure out exactly how this new technology can be used. Fuel Cells: Problems and Solutions, Second Edition...
