About the Book
This collection emphasizes the advances of powder and ceramic/glass materials in fundamental research, technology development, and industrial applications. Ceramic materials science covers the science and technology of creating objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials, and includes design, synthesis, and fabrication of ceramics, glasses, advanced concretes, and ceramic-metal composites. In recent years, the hybrids of ceramic and metallic materials have received plenty of interdisciplinary inspirations and achievements in material processes and functional applications including ionic conductors, catalysis, energy conversion and storage, superconductors, semiconductors, and filtrations. Topics include but are not limited to:
Silicates, oxides, and non-oxide ceramics and glasses
Synthesis, characterization, modeling, and simulation of ceramic materials
Design and control of ceramic microstructure and properties
Ceramic powders and processing
Catalyst and catalyst support materials
Fundamental understanding of ceramic materials and processes
Novel methods, techniques, and instruments used to characterize ceramics and glasses
High entropy ceramics
Bioceramics, electronic, magnetic ceramics, and applications
Surface treatment and ceramic thin films, membranes, and coatings
Porous ceramic materials
Hybrid systems of ceramic, metal, and/or polymer composites
Ceramics used for extreme environments
Metallurgical byproducts for ceramic manufacturing
