Defects and Diffusion Ceramics Abstracts
This eighth volume in the series covering the latest results in the field includes abstracts of papers which appeared between the publication of Annual Retrospective VII (Volumes 242-244) and the end of June 2006 (journal availability permitting). -
Porous Materials for Tissue Engineering
Tissue Engineering is an interdisciplinary field that involves the development of (bio)artificial organs and implants. The main purpose of such prostheses is the repair, regeneration, and reconstruction of lost, damaged, or degenerated tissues and organs. -
Electroceramics in Japan VI
Japan is the most active country in carrying out research on Electroceramics. This research field is also rapidly expanding, and has tremendous implications for a wide range of high-tech applications. -
Advanced Ceramics and Composites
Ceramics promise to be one of the leading materials in the 21st century; with their enormous potential to play essential roles in the important and expanding fields of nano-science and technology, information technology, ecological science and engineering, energy-related engineering and life sciences. -
Progress in Experimental and Computational Mechanics in Engineering
This book comprises the papers presented at the International Conference on Experimental and Computational Mechanics (ECM02), which was held in Dunhuang, China. The proceedings of this prestigious Sino-Japanese conference covered very wide-ranging topics. -
Defects and Diffusion in Ceramics - An Annual Retrospective VII
This seventh volume in the series covering the latest results in the field includes abstracts of papers which appeared between the publication of Annual Retrospective VI (Volumes 226-228) and the end of July 2005 (journal availability permitting). -
Bioceramics 15
Since their inception Bioceramics meetings have provided a treasure house of information for both scientists and clinicians in the medical field. The clinical applications are numerous, in particular in the areas of orthopaedics, maxillofacial, plastic and ocular surgery, percutaneous devices, tissue engineering and sensors. This volume in addition to research papers contributed also presents selected overviews and discussions on recent bioceramics research and trends. -
Defects in Insulating Materials
This book constitutes a comprehensive international forum on defect-related phenomena in wide-gap materials, crystalline or otherwise. Materials as diverse as SiO2, group-III nitride compounds, diamond, alkali halides, refractory oxides, and polymers are covered, and the "defects" considered include intrinsic point imperfections, dislocations, accidental impurities, intentional dopants, imperfect surfaces, nanocrystals in host matrices, and bonding defects in glasses. -
Advances in Abrasive Technology V
The history of abrasive technology dates from the very dawn of mineral utilization and continues to this day with the development of precision-finishing technology.The current requirements of high precision and high quality surfaces for critical components and devices, such as silicon wafers in the semiconductor industry, lenses in the precision optics industry, and dies in the injection molding industry, make the technology of abrasives more important than ever, and essential, albeit indirectly, for the rapid development of information technology. This book therefore plays a valuable role in presenting recent advances in the field of abrasive technology. -
SiAlONs
This book contains the papers presented at the International Symposium on SiAlONs, held at Tomiura, Chiba, Japan, on December 2-4, 2001. The symposium provided a forum for researchers, from all over the world, to discuss recent developments in the theory and applications of SiAlON ceramics and composites.
