This book highlights how the properties and structure of materials are affected by dynamic high pressures generated by explosions, projectile impacts, laser compression, electric discharge or ball milling. Starting with the basics of shock-wave physics and an outline of experimental techniques, it then surveys dynamic compressibility and equations of state of various substances, phase transitions and syntheses of novel compounds under shock. It covers various industrial applications including hardening of metals and grinding (fragmentation) of solids, saturation of solids with defects for use as catalysts, production of superhard materials (synthetic diamond, BN (boron nitride)) and nanomaterials, especially nanodiamond, and discusses state-of-the-art techniques such as combining dynamic and static compression to obtain monolithic materials.

Industry Reviews

"This volume explores phase transformation in materials, the generation of defects such as porosity and dislocations, and industrial applications. ... The book is clearly intended for researchers in high energy density physics and related materials science. Summing Up: Recommended." (J. Lambropoulos, Choice, Vol. 56 (2), October, 2018)
