It is a real pleasure to write the Foreword for this book, both because I have known and respected its author for many years and because I expect this book s publication will mark an important milestone in the continuing worldwide development of microsystems. By bringing together all aspects of microsystem design, it can be expected to facilitate the training of not only a new generation of engineers, but perhaps a whole new type of engineer one capable of addressing the complex range of problems involved in reducing entire systems to the micro- and nano-domains. This book breaks down...

Electrodeposition allows the -tailoring- of surface properties of a bulk material or, in the case of electroforming, the entire part. Deposits can be produced to meet a variety of designer demands. For this reason and for the possibilities that exist in terms of -new materials- for a variety of applications, a thorough understanding of the materials science of electrodeposition is of utmost importance. This book provides that understanding.
