Synopsis

This is the first book devoted to the role of chemical synthetic techniques in the development of advanced ceramic materials. It bridges the gap between existing volumes dealing with the properties of ceramic materials, for example their mechanical properties, and those on chemistry. The author describes the variety of advanced ceramics and their conventional synthesis and fabrication. This is followed by a description of the range of non-conventional synthetic methods. The basic chemistry of the synthesis is described and well-illustrated by reference to ceramics made on both laboratory and industrial scales. This resource book will be of value to anyone working with advanced ceramics in research laboratories, and to postgraduate students and research workers in chemistry, material science, physics, metallurgy and mechanical engineering departments involved with ceramic materials.

Review

' ... it is a pleasure to recommend it ...' Anthony Moulson, The Times Higher Education Supplement

Book Description

This book is unique in bridging the gap between the properties of ceramic materials and their chemistry. A variety of ceramics are covered, and their conventional synthesis and fabrication are described. The basic chemistry is well-illustrated with references to ceramics that are made on both laboratory and industrial scales.
