Description: This special collection of 73 papers covers the intriguing topic of the synthesis and processing of inorganic materials using non-traditional technologies such as SHS, SPS, mechanical alloying, wet chemistry and aerosol deposition; as well as techniques involving laser, microwave, plasma, electron beam and high-field magnetron exposure.

Description: During the past fifty years, significant progress has been achieved in the theory and application of SiAlONs and other similar non-oxide ceramics. In particular, the advances of the last thirty years in research and development have made SiAlONs, and similar materials, some of the most important engineering ceramics and new functional ceramics of today.

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Materials science is a key field in science and technology, and is indispensable for providing the groundwork for the next technological generation. Ceramics, in particular, advanced rapidly during the 20th century. Although current society now faces numerous difficulties with regard to recycling, energy conservation, environmental pollution and safety/reliability issues, ceramics are sure to play an important role in overcoming them.

Description: This collection presents selected papers from over one thousand scientific and technical contributions effectively presented at CIMTEC 2006. Altogether, the collection offers an outstanding wealth of up-to-date information on this field.

Description: This collection presents 23 papers. Altogether, the collection offers up-to-date information on Advanced Inorganic Fibrous Composites.
