Item description from seller

Hardcover, 271 pages, NOT ex-library. Minor handling wear, book looks unread; clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Practical challenges of high‑temperature materials – this volume equips researchers, engineers, and advanced students with the thermodynamic, kinetic, and structural fundamentals needed to design and optimize ceramic technologies today. -- Beginning with the foundations of ceramic science and its industrial and economic role, the book analyzes thermodynamic principles underlying high‑temperature reactions and energy changes, including entropy considerations tied to industrial activity. Detailed attention is given to phase systems, diagram interpretation, and aluminosilicate compositions as levers for improving material properties and solving recurrent technical problems. Kinetic aspects are examined through mechanisms of solid-gas reactions, crystallization, oxide mineral synthesis, and interface transformations between glassy and solid phases. The text then addresses the dynamic formation of ceramic microstructures, highlighting pore evolution, surface layer growth, and the operational behavior of refractory elements. Structural perspectives are developed in a comprehensive discussion of sintering - from spontaneous reactions and mass transfer to grain growth and liquid‑phase participation, supported by models such as Coble-Kuczynski. The closing section surveys examples of innovative design solutions in ceramic technology, capturing both broadly adopted advances and regionally specific practices. -- What distinguishes this work is its systematic integration of theory and application: readers are guided from thermodynamic analysis through kinetic modeling to real‑world sintering and design strategies. This makes the book adaptable for both academic environments and industrial R&D contexts. Its emphasis on aluminosilicate phases, entropy analysis, and high‑temperature transformations provides enduring reference points for refractory engineering, materials optimization, and sustainable innovation in ceramic processing. Researchers gain methodological tools for accurate prediction and control of processes, practitioners can calibrate techniques against theoretical baselines, and students acquire a durable conceptual apparatus. The text aligns closely with ongoing challenges in energy efficiency, advanced ceramics for electronics, and next‑generation structural materials.
