Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
Energy/environmental issues are of increasing importance these days, and improvement of the efficiency of energy conversion inevitably requires materials to be exposed to high temperatures and high pressures in aggressive environments. The present 80 peer-reviewed papers discuss the future prospects for solving materials issues involving elevated temperatures.

Nitrides and Oxynitrides 2

Edited by: M.J. Pomeroy, S. Hampshire, M.A. Centeno, J.A. Odriozola and Y. Laurent

Online since: December 2001

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
This volume is dedicated to the ever-expanding fields of application of nitrides in ceramics, metals, glasses, composites, coatings, sensors, catalysts and electronic thin films. The papers cover all branches of materials science and engineering which concern the role of nitrogen in improving and modifying the properties of materials; particularly those destined for novel applications. All of the papers have been peer-reviewed prior to publication, so that this book will make a very significant contribution to assessing the current state-of-the-art concerning Nitrides and Oxynitrides.

Corrosion of Advanced Ceramics

Edited by: R.J. Fordham, D.J. Baxter and T. Graziani

Online since: July 1995

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The study of oxidation and corrosion resistance continues to play a vital role in the development of advanced ceramics. A knowledge of both the mechanisms governing the corrosion processes and the rate of degradation under conditions of use are required in order to permit judicious materials selection.
