SiAlONs and Non-oxides

Edited by: Katsutoshi Komeya, Yi Bing Cheng, Junichi Tatami and Mamoru Mitomo

Online since: December 2008

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.

Doped Nanopowders

Edited by: Witold Łojkowski and John R. Blizzard, Urszula Narkiewicz and Janusz D. Fidelus

Online since: October 2007

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The production of nanopowders, and their applications in industrial and technological innovation, is an important and growing area of interest in the world of nanotechnology. It is widely recognized that the basic properties of nanopowders are strongly influenced by their shape, size, distribution and surface chemistry.
