The performance of inorganic materials is critical in structural design and engineering applications. Testing techniques and evaluation methods are are therefore keys to ensuring the quality and reliability of inorganic materials and components. The main theme of this special collection is materials properties and testing techniques, and covers most aspects of testing techniques as applied to the mechanical, chemical, physical properties and microstructures of ceramics, glass and concrete. The work therefore offers an insight into cutting-edge developments in testing techniques in the area of inorganic materials.

This book presents contributions covering the more recent applications of Sol-Gel science. Ceramics and films produced from gels were among the first applications developed by early sol-gel researchers. The possibility of tailoring the structure, and controlling particle growth, has permitted ever more advanced materials to be obtained. Several other potential applications were foreseen fifteen to twenty year ago, but their realization became possible only after extensive research on precursors had enabled progress towards the preparation of new pre-forms.
