This book imbibes the experimental results on the interaction of charged particles with the material medium undergoing phase transition in terms of energy loss (EL) measurements for both light and heavy particles. The EL was measured in two different classes of ferroelectrics (BT displacive and TGS order-disorder) with a view to understanding the role of unit cell dipole moment and that of the mechanism of dielectric polarisation in a ferroelectric on the critical energy loss. Computer coding is programmed using python and other computer simulation programs like SRIM, PSTAR, and ASTAR,...

Conducting polymer composites are the future materials for emerging technologies as they possess a combination of unique properties of their constituents. The properties become more interesting when one of the components is in the nano range. Due to the synergistic effect of the polymer and the nanofiller, the resulting materials are expected to display desirable properties with enhanced performance. "Conducting polymers are characterized by a conjugated structure of alternating single and double bonds". Among all the conducting polymers, polyaniline has a unique and wide range of electrical,...
