Book Overview
Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy in Material Science offers a detailed overview of positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) techniques and their applications across polymers, polymer-based materials, metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and energy storage materials. Its focus on both fundamental theory and practical workflows helps users interpret defect structures, free volume, and degradation mechanisms at the microstructural level, addressing a critical need for non-destructive, high-resolution analysis tools in academic and industrial research environments. Chapters cover the scientific principles of PAS, experimental methodologies, and comprehensive case studies demonstrating PAS applications in polymers, nanocomposites, MIPs, structural batteries, and porous frameworks. The book emphasizes the integration of PAS with other characterization techniques such as DSC, XRD, TEM and mechanical testing, providing readers with a holistic approach to understanding material performance and durability.
