Testing and Evaluation of Inorganic Materials II

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: Presented here are 125 papers from the Second Annual Meeting on Testing and Evaluation of Inorganic Materials (TEIM-2), held in Changsha, China, in May-June 2011. Papers focus on materials properties and testing techniques, including testing mechanical, chemical, and physical properties and microstructures of ceramics, glass, and concrete, including ceramics for dental applications. They include discussion of development and application of testing equipment; the behavior and properties of various materials measured by different methods; fatigue damage; the evaluation of impact properties and erosion; the effects of temperature and surface treatment; conductivity and sintering properties; characterization; electrical characteristics; magnetic, fabrication, and photoelectrochemical properties; phase behavior; and biological safety assessment. The contributors, who are mainly based in China, work in engineering, materials science, ceramics, chemistry, prosthodontics, stomatology, and other sciences.
