Powders are root materials for ceramics, as the starting compositions to prepare bulks or films. In addition, powders are usually used as additives for metals, polymers and composites. In general, the characteristics and performances of the powders dominate the properties and quality of final materials or products. Therefore, the importance of powders, including synthesizing and testing, will never be overstated. The objective of 2012 Workshop on the Synthesis, Characterization and applications of inorganic powders, therefore, is to provide a forum for researchers, engineers and students, to disseminate their latest research results and exchange experimental views concerning the latest developments in the novel technology to fabricate and analyze ceramic powders and also the preparation and characterization of bulk ceramics. The present Proceedings collected 73 papers presented in this Workshop.
This work summarizes the valuable investigations of the authors in the fields of geological and geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, reliability, durability and rehabilitation of structures, monitoring and control of structures, tunnel, subway and underground facilities, road and railway engineering, bridge engineering, seismic engineering, hydraulic engineering, water supply and drainage engineering, heating, gas supply, ventilation and air conditioning works, natural and technogenic disaster prevention and mitigation, survey engineering, cartography and geographic information systems, multi-field coupling theory and its applications, applied and computational mechanics, noise and vibration control, computer applications in industry and civil engineering, and engineering management.
