Bioceramics 13 contains the proceedings of the 13th International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine organized by the “International Society for Ceramics in Medicine”. This society is an established forum for distinguished material scientists, bioengineers, molecular and cellular biologists, bone biologists, orthopedic surgeons, clinicians and manufacturers, to gather together and discuss the latest achievements in the field of bioceramic materials.

Electroceramics are among the most interesting and useful materials for electronic devices, and various other high-technology applications. The present volume discusses dielectric, piezoelectric, semiconductive, ionically conducting and superconductive materials. Special emphasis is placed on the characterization of these materials, including computer simulations, and on the fabrication procedures for bulk and thin film ceramics on the submicronmeter scale. Important results are reported on grain boundary phenomena and the effects of various crystal and surface structures on the technologically important properties of electroceramics.

Description: This is the second issue, following DDF164, to cover recent progress in this field. The contents are contiguous with those of DDF164, and extend to late November or December 1999 (depending upon journal publication dates). As usual, priority in abstracting has been given to the most accessible work and, in particular, to those papers which furnish original data or report important new techniques, phenomena or anomalies, although there is also extensive coverage of more qualitative features of diffusion and defect phenomena, and of the predictions of computer models.

Description: The research field of Electroceramics is rapidly expanding, and has tremendous implications for a wide range of high-tech applications.
This book presents the latest research results on conductive ceramics; dielectrics; piezo-electric ceramics; ZnO semiconducting ceramics; insulators; batteries and cells; and memory devices.

Sol-gel technology is an important route for the fabrication of inorganic and inorganic-organic composite materials. As is typical of chemical synthesis routes, a wide range of parameters can be used to tailor the product.

Description: Comprising more than 580 papers, the aim of this 3-volume set is to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the relevant trends in the research and development of all aspects of ceramics. It will constitute an excellent reference source for every researcher working in the field.

Description: In spite of the very great progress made in ceramic science, and the elegance and excitement of the research which has been performed, the real driving force for developments in ceramics remains their potential applications. The opportunity for dramatic scientific advances was certainly one reason for the "ceramic fever" of a decade ago, but there is also no doubt that the prediction of an annual market for fine ceramics, amounting to 6 billion Yen played a role.

Description: The purpose of this book is to present a survey of the latest developments in the field of nanophase materials. The topics included are interdisciplinary in nature, covering theory, materials preparation, structural characterization, thermodynamic aspects and mechanical, optical, electrical and magnetic properties.

Description: The development of porous ceramic materials has presented a new challenge to various industries, because porous ceramics are more durable in severe environments and their surface characteristics permit them to satisfy very specific requirements.

Description: Within the last few decades, advances in solid-state chemistry have resulted in substantial progress towards a better understanding of the solid state, and have even led to the development of some predictive capablities in crystal chemistry. Nonetheless, in more recent years, entirely new ways of thinking have appeared. The term "soft chemistry" or "chimie douce", is often applied in a general manner to refer to these new routes, these new ways of thinking.
