About this book
There is no science without measurements, no quality without testing, and no global markets without standards (Commission of the European Union).
In its most general context, the term ‘materials measurements’ denotes operations to distinguish qualitatively and to determine quantitatively characteristics of materials. As materials constitute the physical matter of all products – machines, devices, plants, commodities, means of information, communication, transport, habitation and energy supply – materials measurements have a wide scope and impact for science and technology, economy and society.
Springer Handbook of Materials Measurement Methods compiles advanced methods for materials measurement and characterization methods from the macroscopic to the nanometer scale.
Reviews
“This is one of some truly immense volumes of information, and this particular volume has 1200 pages of text and contributions by 105 different experts. … It does contain a lot of useful information, and it is beautifully presented and illustrated. There is no doubt that it will be heavily used and deservedly so.” (P.J. Dobson, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 49 (01), January-February, 2008)
"This is an impressive Handbook. It is well referenced and should be an excellent overall general reference for metrology in measurements. The CD ROM is most impressive and makes the Handbook that much more useful. I also like the first several chapters that discuss metrology concepts and ideas and I hope that the Springer Handbook ofMaterials Measurement Methods is used by scientists and engineers around the world."
Dr. Richard B. Pettit Managing Editor, NCSLI MEASURE, The Journal of Measurement Science
"The book very successfully develops and explains clearly the guidelines and standards for material measurements and the respective characterization of technical systems. More than 50 pages are incorporated which cover the latest standards … . Quick access to the data in the various parts of the book is guaranteed by a detailed index and a fully searchable CD-ROM. … it can only be emphasized that the book represents a must on the desk of every scientist, expert and student involved in materials measurements." (Materialprüfung, Vol. 49 (3), 2007)
"The Springer Handbook of Materials Measurement Methods provides on 1208 pages a concise compilation from more than 100 leading experts in the fields of physics and engineering from all over the world. … is of high value for all pharmaceutical scientists involved in the characterization of drugs, excipients, drug products, devices and packaging materials. … I recommend the Handbook of Materials Measurement Methods as a reference book of high value." (Peter Kleinebudde, European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, Vol. 66, 2007)
"…an overview of the wide variety of materials measurement procedures is essential for all natural and engineering scientists and – the recently published Springer Handbook of Materials Measurement Methods really closes the gap. …professionals need not only handbooks of materials data but clear guidelines and standards for how to measure the full spectrum of materials characteristics of new materials and systems… Such high requirements could only be matched by the international experience and expertise of the three editors… the book very successfully develops and explains the guidelines and standards… it can only be emphasized that the book represents a must on the desk of every scientist, expert, and student involved in materials measurement.’ Materials Testing (June 2007)
“This is a review article … summarizes all of the important aspects of materials characterization covered in the ‘Springer Handbook of Materials Measurement Methods,’ edited by Horst and his co-editors Tetsuya Saito and Leslie Smith. … The Handbook is supplied with a CD-ROM that makes it … more useful. … If you appreciate the importance of this review article, I am sure that you will be motivated to purchase the complete Springer Handbook ‘Materials Measurement Methods.’” (NCSL International Measure, Vol. 4 (4), December, 2009)Editors and Affiliations

About the editors
Dr. Horst Czichos is Professor of Mechatronics at the University of Applied Sciences, Berlin, Germany. He graduated with a degree in Precision Engineering and worked as a design engineer in the optical industry. He holds Dipl.-Phys. and Dr.-Ing (Materials Science) degrees from the Free and Technical Universities of Berlin and a Dr. h.c. from KU Leuven. He was President of the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) from 1992 to 2002 and President of the European Federation of National Associations of Measurement, Testing and Analytical Laboratories, EUROLAB (1999 – 2003), and is now its Delegate for the International Affiliates.
Dr. Saito is currently Senior Adviser Emeritus at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and Chairman of ISO/TC164 (Mechanical Testing of Metals). He received his Dr.-Eng from the University of Tokyo in 1978 and since has held various positions at the National Research Institute for Metals, including Director ofMaterials Evaluation Division and Deputy Director-General of the Institute.
After retirement from his position as Director of the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Dr. Leslie Smith is a Research Associate at NIST. He received B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Case Institute of Technology and the Catholic University of America in physical-organic chemistry and conducted research primarily on the adsorption of polymers and the degradation of polyesters.
