Innovative Processing and Manufacturing of Advanced Ceramics and Composites

This Ceramic Transactions volume brings together selected papers from four symposia held during the 8th Pacific Rim Conference on Ceramic and Glass Technology, which met in Vancouver, British Columbia, from 31 May to 5 June 2009. Materials synthesis and processing has long been a productive field, and the Pacific Rim meetings have repeatedly given it a central place.

The papers focus on how advanced ceramics and composites are made and processed, with attention to new manufacturing methods. Because the book draws on four symposia, it gives a snapshot of several approaches rather than one line of work.

The volume suits materials researchers, ceramic engineers and graduate students who want to follow processing research from that period.
