Although ceramics have been known to mankind literally for millennia, research has never ceased. Apart from the classic uses as a bulk material in pottery, construction, and decoration, the latter half of the twentieth century saw an explosive growth of application fields, such as electrical and thermal insulators, wear-resistant bearings, surface coatings, lightweight armour, or aerospace materials. In addition to plain, hard solids, modern ceramics come in many new guises such as fabrics, ultrathin films, microstructures and hybrid composites. Built on the solid foundations laid down by the 20-volume series Materials Science and Technology, Ceramics Science and Technology picks out this exciting material class and illuminates it from all sides. Materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biochemists, physicists and medical researchers alike will find this work a treasure trove for a wide range of ceramics knowledge from theory and fundamentals to practical approaches and problem solutions.Content: Chapter 1 Modern Trends in Advanced Ceramics (pages 1–38): Prof. Dr. Ralf Riedel, Emanuel Ionescu and Prof. Dr. I.?Wei ChenChapter 2 Modeling Amorphous Ceramic Structures (pages 39–69): Peter KrollChapter 3 Structural Chemistry of Ceramics (pages 71–103): Rainer Pottgen, Hubert Huppertz and Rolf?Dieter HoffmannChapter 4 Diffusion in Ceramics (pages 105–182): Gunter Borchardt, Karsten Gomann, Martin Kilo and Harald SchmidtChapter 5 Structures of Ceramic Materials: Thermodynamics and Constitution (pages 183–229): Matsvei Zinkevich and Fritz AldingerChapter 6 Microstructural Design of Ceramics: Theory and Experiment (pages 231–295): Gayle S.
