Powders are root materials for ceramics, as the starting compositions to prepare bulks or films. In addition, powders are usually used as additives for metals, polymers and composites. In general, the characteristics and performances of the powders dominate the properties and quality of final materials or products. Therefore, the importance of powders, including synthesizing and testing, will never be overstated. The objective of 2012 Workshop on the Synthesis, Characterization and applications of inorganic powders, therefore, is to provide a forum for researchers, engineers and students, to disseminate their latest research results and exchange experimental views concerning the latest developments in the novel technology to fabricate and analyze ceramic powders and also the preparation and characterization of bulk ceramics. The present Proceedings collected 73 papers presented in this Workshop.

Powders are the raw material for ceramics; the starting compositions for preparing bulk or film products. In addition, powders are used as additives to metals, polymers and composites. Whatever their function, powders - their characteristics and performance - govern the properties and quality of finished materials and products. Therefore, the importance of powders, including their synthesis and testing, cannot be overstated. The objective of this collection of peer-reviewed papers was to provide a forum where researchers, engineers and students could disseminate their latest research results and exchange views concerning the latest developments in novel technologies for fabricating and analyzing ceramic powders. This work is an essential guide to the above topics.

Description: The main theme of this special collection was that of materials properties and testing techniques, and covered most aspects of testing techniques as applied to the mechanical, chemical, physical properties and microstructures of ceramics, glasses and concrete. The book will be a worthy adjunct to the library of every testing laboratory

The major topics covered by this special collection include dielectrics, piezoelectric ceramics, ferroelectrics, lead-free piezoelectric ceramics, Li-ion battery-related materials, secondary batteries, solid oxide fuel cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, the properties and processing of thin films, magnetic ceramics, semiconducting ceramics, sensors and ceramic science and processing. The microstructures of the materials considered also ranged from single crystals to bulk ceramics, to thin films and finally to nanocrystals; thus providing a complete overview of the subject.

Description: These 146 peer-reviewed papers cover the current understanding of researchers working in the fields of electronic materials and devices, ferroelectric, piezoelectric and dielectric materials, smart materials, the science and advanced technology of gels and aggregates, and thin-film materials and technology. A useful source of the latest information.

Description: This periodical edition includes peer-reviewed scientific and engineering papers on all aspects of research in the area of nanoscience and nanotechnologies and wide practical application of the achieved results.

Description: Reducing the dimensions of contiguous matter, down to the nanometer scale, confines the electronic and vibrational wavefunctions and results in unique properties which open up a wide vista of potential applications in optics, mechanics, electrical engineering, magnetic devices, catalysis and biomedicine. Nanostructures, characterized by having at least one dimension in the nanometer range, are considered to be a bridge between single molecules and their bulk counterparts. The challenge for nanotechnology is to achieve perfect control of the nanoscale-related properties; which obviously requires correlating the parameters of synthesis with the resultant nanostructures. Nanostructures are also ideal subjects for computer simulation and modeling: in computations related to nanomaterials, one deals with a spatial scaling ranging from a few nanometers to a few micrometers and a time-scaling ranging from a few femto-seconds (fs) to 1 second - with a limit of accuracy better than 1 kcal mol-1.

Description: Electroceramics are among the most interesting and useful materials for electronic devices and many other high-technology applications. This series of books regularly presents the latest research results, on electroceramics, coming out of Asia and Japan. This current volume integrates two themes, "Asian Ceramic Science for Electronics II" and "Electroceramics in Japan V", and describes many new and important results in ceramic science as applied to electronics, including: conductive ceramics; dielectrics, piezoelectric and ferroelectric ceramics; semiconducting ceramics; insulators; thin-film electroceramics; batteries and cells; memory devices and optical devices. Emphasis is placed very much on the potential applications of these materials, without neglecting the necessary production and fabrication techniques.
