Testing and Evaluation of Inorganic Materials I
Description:
The performance of inorganic materials is critical in structural design and engineering applications. Testing techniques and evaluation methods are are therefore keys to ensuring the quality and reliability of inorganic materials and components. The main theme of this special collection is materials properties and testing techniques, and covers most aspects of testing techniques as applied to the mechanical, chemical, physical properties and microstructures of ceramics, glass and concrete. The work therefore offers an insight into cutting-edge developments in testing techniques in the area of inorganic materials.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
The inaugural sitting of the symposium explored techniques for testing mechanical, chemical, and physical properties and micro-structures of ceramics, glass, and concrete. Researchers, practitioners, and students from across China present over 120 papers on such topics as characterizing the nano-structure of a glass-like carbon by x-ray diffraction and electron energy loss spectroscopy, electrical properties of zinc oxide film prepared by the thermal oxidation method, the experimental analysis of surface defects in bioceramics used in bone tissue engineering, the ultrasonic monitoring of hydration using embedded piezoelectric transducers, and atomic oxygen effects of polyimide/silica hybrid films in a low earth orbit environment.
