Item description from seller

Hardcover, xi + 172 pages, NOT ex-library. Likely unread, minor handling wear, a short crease to the upper corner of a couple of leaves. Clean and bright throughout, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps; firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume consolidates the most significant contributions from three cutting-edge symposia - Armor Ceramics, Next Generation Bioceramics, and Porous Ceramics - held during the 40th International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites (ICACC) in 2016. With over 100 papers presented, this collection offers a panoramic overview of how ceramics are being reengineered to meet critical needs in defence, medicine, and industrial filtration. Part I: Armor Ceramics explores the dynamic fracture mechanics and ballistic performance of advanced ceramics under extreme impact conditions. Highlights include Aydelotte and colleagues' study of cone crack morphology in boron carbide and fused silica under oblique impacts, revealing stress-field asymmetries and rotation patterns of fracture conoids. Other papers explore spark plasma sintering of SiC-B4C composites, additive manufacturing of armor ceramics, and in situ damage characterisation using XCT. These findings feed directly into military and aerospace applications, while also advancing computational modelling of brittle failure under dynamic load. Part II: Next Generation Bioceramics examines the interface of material science and regenerative medicine. Contributions span bioactive glass scaffolds for bone repair, silver-doped calcium phosphates for antimicrobial applications, and ion-modulated osteoblast activation. The volume reflects a shift toward bioinspired design, echoing current research on hierarchical composites and smart implant surfaces. The convergence of nanostructure control, controlled drug delivery, and biocompatibility marks this section as vital for biomedical engineering and translational health sciences. Part III: Porous Ceramics addresses thermal insulation, membrane science, and 3D characterisation of porosity. Papers explore freeze casting, foam replication, and advanced XCT for mapping internal cracks - technologies applicable in environmental engineering, catalytic support, and clean energy sectors. The section underscores the functional versatility of ceramics with tunable porosity, from filtration media to acoustic metamaterials. This volume is an essential reference for researchers in materials science, mechanical engineering, bioceramics, and industrial ceramics. With relevance to sustainable design, defence technologies, and biomaterials innovation, it showcases how ceramics remain at the forefront of interdisciplinary materials research.…
