Ceramics & Oxides

• Nitrides and Oxynitrides III
  This volume is dedicated to the ever-expanding fields of application of nitrides in ceramics, metals, glasses, composites and coatings. The papers cover all of those branches of materials science and engineering which concern the role of nitrogen in the improvement and modification of the properties of materials; particularly those destined for novel applications.
• Superplasticity in Advanced Materials
  Interest in the phenomenon of superplasticity has been increasing steadily over the past thirty-four years, both from the viewpoint of fundamental scientific understanding as well as of industrial application. The scope of superplasticity has also broadened materials-wise, and now includes, in addition to metals: intermetallics, ceramics, bulk metallic glasses, nanostructured materials and composites.
• Recent Developments in Advanced Materials and Processes
  Materials science and engineering is a multidisciplinary area of research which encompasses the physics, chemistry and engineering of every class of material. In recent years, the field has attracted increasing attention, following the discovery of new types of material and their subsequent application in new technologies.
• Functional Materials and Devices
  The last five decades have seen an explosion of interest in exploring the possibilities of new materials for industrial and commercial applications. Materials Technology is now recognized as being one of the most important factors driving the development and growth of a nation’s economy. The sciences of design, processing, manufacturing and materials utilization are crucial elements contributing to the growth of new industries. The need for new discoveries in Materials Science has encouraged scientists from around the world to meet regularly and to discuss the latest advances and innovations.
• Advanced Materials Forum III
  The aim of this book is to provide the reader with the latest advanced research results on, and an improved understanding of, various aspects of the processing and characterization of materials.
• Advanced Structural and Functional Materials Design
  The Industrial Revolution showed that the development and improvement of new materials and functions could bring about social change, and benefit human society. However, one can be forgiven for feeling that more recent materials research, particularly in the domain of metals, has focused only upon individual elemental characteristics and narrow specialty fields, and that the original vision of materials research has thus been lost.
• Advanced Structural Materials II
  This collection comprises invited and contributed papers which were presented at the Advanced Structural Materials Symposium held in Cancún, México during the Annual Conference of the Mexican Academy of Materials Science.
• New Frontiers of Processing and Engineering in Advanced Materials
  Materials science which focuses on clarifying a material’s properties at the micro- and nano-scale is rapidly accelerating the production of new advanced materials. The production of such materials, developed in this new century, will promote the growth of wholly new industries in a variety of engineering fields.
• Advanced Powder Technology IV
  This interesting volume focuses on the technology of metal and ceramic powders; particularly with regard to powder production, spray-forming, powder compaction and sintering, mechanical alloying, corrosion of PM parts and biomedical applications. Also treated are powder production, sintering mechanisms, sintering furnaces, injection moulding and ceramic processing, automotive applications and future perspectives.
• Current Research in Advanced Materials and Processes
  The present book comprises ninety-two papers, by leading scientists from 21 countries, thematically arranged into ten sections: I Nanostructures and Thin Films; II Solid State Phenomena; III Nanomaterials; IV Advanced Materials; V Materials for Electrochemistry; VI Spectroscopic Characterization; VII Synthesis and Processing; VIII Powders, Ceramics and Sintering; IX Composites and X Biomaterials.
