High-Performance Ceramics III

Edited by: Wei Pan, Jianghong Gong, Chang-Chun Ge and Jing-Feng Li

Online since: February 2007

Description: Sponsored by the Chinese Ceramic Society, the China International Conference on High-Performance Ceramics (CICC) aims to provide an international forum for the presentation, discussion and review of the latest advances in the science and technology of high-performance ceramics.
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The present volume contains selected papers from the third conference in the CICC series: CICC-3, which was held from the 9th to the 12th of May, 2004, in Shenzhen, China. It also contains 19 papers which were specially selected by Prof. Chang-Chun Ge and Prof. Jing-Feng Li from among the papers that were submitted to the First International Workshop on Layered and Graded Materials, which was organized as a special session within the framework of CICC-3.

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.

Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis

Edited by: Chang-Chun Ge and A.S. Rogachev

Online since: October 2001

Description: Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis is an attractive advanced technology for the synthesis of a wide variety of advanced materials, including powders and near net-shape products formed from ceramics, intermetallics, composites and functionally graded materials, by exploiting the heat-energy released by the exothermic reaction of raw materials via a self-sustaining combustion wave which propagates from one end of the specimen to the other. When compared with traditional technologies, remarkable savings in energy, time and equipment, and novel forms of equilibrium and non-equilibrium phases and high-purity products can result from using SHS.
