Over recent years the field of ceramics research has broadened and expanded quite extensively. Advanced ceramics are now used in new fields of research such as sacrificial ceramic networks, quantum dots, perovskites, semi-conducting metal oxides, and MAX phases. There have also been new developments in manufacturing and machining technology, surface modification and functionalization, in predictive design using digitalization and artificial intelligence as well as bioinspired materials.
This third edition of the Handbook of Advanced Ceramics has brand new chapters with an internationally-renowned group of editors [Members of the World Academy of Ceramics] and contributing authors. The Editor-in-Chief is Professor Masahiro Yoshimura, from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan and Professor Emeritus, Tokyo institute of Technology, Japan. The authors have been selected because they are leading experts in their respective fields of research.
The Handbook is divided into eight parts. Following a brief introduction that provides a definition of advanced ceramics there are dedicated sections on functional, structural, and biomedical and healthcare ceramics. These are then followed by additional sections on advanced processing, advanced characterization, and advanced simulation and design. There is also a dedicated section on new emerging areas of ceramics research such as: geopolymers, nuclear fuels and waste, water and ceramics, space applications and amorphous conductors. Advanced carbons and glasses are also covered in significant detail. The Handbook is finally brought to a close with a final chapter that discusses future perspectives for advanced ceramics, which is written by Professor Masahiro Yoshimura.
This third edition of the Handbook will be an essential reference resource for all those working in ceramics research [academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists and manufactures, industrial engineers and designers and post-graduate students] who need a broad overview of recent research and emerging areas in the advanced ceramics field. The chapters present in a clear and structured way detailed knowledge on the fundamentals of ceramics but more importantly up-to-date information on ceramics in terms of systems, chemistries, structure and properties and applications.
- A brand-new edition of one of the most highly regarded Handbooks in the ceramics research field
- Wide-ranging coverage from eminent authors who are experts in their respective research fields
- Emphasis on composition, function, structure, properties, processing and applications of ceramics
- Covers recent research such as biomedical and healthcare, geopolymers, battery developments and advanced glasses
- Supported and endorsed by the World Academy of Ceramics
