High Entropy Materials: Fundamentals and Potential Applications

High Entropy Materials: Fundamentals and Potential Applications covers the fundamental science of high entropy materials (HEMs) and advances in the development of various structural and functional HEMs: topics covered include strength and ductility combination; hydrogen embrittlement resistance; shape memory properties; fatigue properties as well as detailed reviews of high-entropy superalloys; refractory high entropy alloys; ferroelectric high entropy oxides; nanocrystal library for catalytic applications; water splitting for hydrogen production; thermoelectric properties; lithium and sodium batteries; high-entropy polymers; high-entropy coatings for elevated temperatures and wear resistance; and AI-based approaches to explore the high entropy materials composition space. The book is written by international experts in the field including the director and principal investigators of the High Entropy Materials Center in Taiwan: the first research center dedicated to the development of HEMs
