Functionally Graded Materials VII

Edited by: Wei Pan, Jianghong Gong, Lianmeng Zhang and Lidong Chen

Online since: May 2003

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) exhibit spatial variations, in composition and/or microstructure, which have been imposed for the specific purpose of controlling the resultant variations in the thermal, structural or functional properties.

Sol-Gel Production

Edited by: Helmut Schmidt

Online since: February 1998

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Sol-gel technology is an important route for the fabrication of inorganic and inorganic-organic composite materials. As is typical of chemical synthesis routes, a wide range of parameters can be used to tailor the product.
