Binders, Materials and Technologies in Modern Construction VII

Edited by: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Karel Dvořák and Dr. Dominik Gazdič

Online since: October 2021

Description: This volume contains extended papers presented at the 19th International Conference on Silicate Binders (ICBM 2020), held on 3 December 2020 in Brno, Chech Republic. The conference was focused on scientific and practical achievements in the development and properties research of inorganic binders for building materials. The most important topics were related to the investigation of cementitious composites and other hydraulic and silicate binders and analysis of lime and gypsum-based binders' chemical properties and production technologies. We hope that these proceedings will be helpful to many professionals in the field of building materials.

Defects and Diffusion in Ceramics IV

Edited by: Dr. David J. Fisher

Online since: July 2002

Description: In addition to the usual abstracts of research reported since the previous retrospective, this issue comprises ten invited papers. The first four are reviews that cover the important topics of conductive oxide preparation, the modeling of amorphous materials (silicon carbide, for example), the nanoscale characterization of oxides and the effect of combined irradiation treatments.
The other six invited papers present recent experimental or theoretical studies of structural defects in gallium nitride, atomic-scale deformation processes in nanomaterials, micropipes in silicon carbide, radiation effects in garnets and boron diffusion in hafnia.
