Synopsis

Ceramic Transactions, Volume 101. The chemical and structural makeup of materials' surfaces play a major role in their environmental stability and reactivity. No one has done more to understand the mechanisms that control the surface reactivity of glasses than Larry L. Hench. The goal of this symposium, held in his honor, is to provide a perspective of this field through a discussion of the critical studies that have formed its foundation and the great discoveries that the future holds. The book provides state-of-the-art science and technology and provides illustrative examples of how to progress from concept to product. Selected Contents: Active Glasses with Large Surface Areas; Surface-active Biomaterials; Surface-mediated Processes in the Dissolution of Materials; Overview of Surface Processes in Nuclear Waste Glasses; Unique Methods for Surface Modifications; Novel Characterization of Surfaces; Role of Surface Processes on Mechanical Behavior of Surface Science Technologies in the Manufacture of Dental and Medical Devices.

Papers presented at the Symposium on Surface-Active Processes in Materials held at the 23rd Conference on Composites, Advanced Ceramics, Materials, and Structures, Cocoa Beach, Florida, USA (1999).
