This special topic volume brings together fifty-eight invited papers, from twenty countries, covering a wide range of issues related to the ductility of bulk nanostructured materials. They include topics such as: deformation mechanisms, basic conceptions and reviews of ductility, ductility-structure relationships, processing and microstructural evolutions. This

work provides authoritative guidance on developing strategies to improve the ductility of nanostructured materials and will permit materials designers to op- timize the mechanical properties of nanostructured materials. © Text: Research and Markets

Future Markets (Research and Markets): Nanocoatings for the Construction and Exterior Protection Industry

Nanoscale coatings are particularly suited to protec- ting the surface of various construction materials such as glass, concrete, sand limestone or marble from environmental influences like water staining, moss, algae as well as soot and oil stains; are also function

as corrosion inhibitors for reinforced steel. Paints and surface coatings are commercially available that create a low energy facing thus rendering a building surface highly hydro- and oleophobic, thereby hel- ping to prolong maintenance cycles and to ease clea-
